About a year ago my girls and I were watching "Good Chef, Bad Chef" on Lifestyle Food. Gary Mehigan (Bad Chef & now Masterchef Australia) was cooking up some of these yummy morsels. It didn't take much convincing to make my own.
They do take a while to make, but I can assure you the end result is very very satisfying. Especially with a nice cuppa tea or coffee :))
Here is my version :))

Once the mixture has doubled in size spoon a teaspoon of the dough mixture in the hot oil, cook until golden and cooked through.
You can either just roll the donuts in some sugar and cinnamon or you can fill each donut with a little raspberry jam and then roll into the sugar.
It isn't Gary exact recipe, but they sure do taste good. My kids loves these and I'm sure you will too.
