Frying Foods

I am a lover of vegan/vegetarian foods, but not of frying foods, so it would be nice to see doughnuts that are baked and not fried.

I found this on Recipezaar.com and think it would be a wonderful substitution for frying the doughnuts.

VEGAN DOUGHNUTS
These are great doughnuts dipped in a sugar glaze or rolled in cinnamon and sugar.

18 doughnuts
time to make 16 min 8 min prep
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons egg substitute
2 tablespoons water
3/4 cup rice milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 teaspoons oil

1. preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. mix flour, sugar, and baking powder.
3. add egg replacer + water (mixed together before adding), rice milk, oil, and vanilla, mix vigorously until well blended.
4. pour batter into a doughnut pan (I'm sure the mixture can somehow be rolled out if you don't have a doughnut pan -- I'm sure a muffin pan might do too).
5. put in oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until done.
6. dip into a mixed sugar glaze (powdered sugar and water) or roll in a bag filled with cinnamon and sugar.
7. eat away!
