ingredients
directions
- Cream the butter and sugar.
- Add the remaining ingredients in batches, mixing well and adding the fruit last.
- The amounts are only guides- you are aiming for a thickish batter.
- Heat up the sunflower oil for deep frying and drop scant tablespoons worth of dough.
- Deep fry for about 5-7 minutes- they are self turning.
- If you are too generous with the amount the doughnuts sink to the bottom of the pot and stick.
- Not a good idea!
- Too small and they overcook.
- The aim is to have a golden doughnut that is cooked right through.

Australia
I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving.
I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start.
Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog!
Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years!
I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
