1
Put the butter in a heatproof container, and microwave for 20 minutes (I have a 500 W microwave).
-
2
Take it out and mix well with a whisk until the butter is smooth.
-
3
Add the sugar to the butter, and mix well until it's no longer gritty and turns smooth and creamy.
-
4
Break in the egg and mix well again.
-
5
Use a whisk to do everything up to this point.
-
6
Add the pancake mix.
-
7
From this point on use a rice paddle or a wooden spatula to mix.
-
8
Don't try to knead the dough with your spatula, but try to fold the flour into the liquid so that the flour absorbs the liquid, until the dough comes together.
-
9
It's fine if it's still a bit floury here and there, so don't over-mix the dough.
-
10
Put all the dough on your hand and press it hard 2 to 3 times to form a ball.
-
11
Dust a cutting board, place the dough ball on it, and press it out with your hands to about a 1 cm thickness.
-
12
Cut 3 donut shapes out of the dough to start with.
-
13
Roll up the remaining dough, spread it out again and cut 2 more donuts out of it.
-
14
Rip the remaining dough into 10 pieces and roll them into small balls (It's like playing with clay).
-
15
Put some frying oil in a wok, and fry the donuts in low-medium hot oil in 2 batches.
-
16
Use a frying net to turn the donuts over and you can avoid damaging the surface.
-
17
Drain off the oil well and they're ready.
