We call these babies « croustillons » and those are typical carnival donut here in Belgium.
Making the dough is super simple;
250gr of flour
150ml of tepid milk
1 egg
7gr of dry yeast
20 gr of sugar
20 gr of softened butter
4gr of salt
1 small pack of Vanilla sugar
Beat the crap out of it for about 5 mins

And after a while it has doubled its volume:

Deep fried for a couple of minutes

And then add a lot of icing sugar -------


They’re different, but those reminded me of hushpuppies:
Ingredients
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1 large egg
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup minced onion
2 cups vegetable oil
Directions
Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture.
Stir together egg and buttermilk. Add mixture to dry ingredients. Stir until moistened. Stir in onion.
Pour oil into 10-inch cast iron skillet, and heat to 375°F. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into oil, and fry in batches 3 minutes on each side or until golden.
Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.
That’s going to be a banger. I’ll be making those as appetizers when I’m back from vacations :) Thanks!
