Vegan Sel Roti (Rice Flour Donuts)

Ingredients

• 2 cups Rice Flour
• 1/2 cup Coconut Sugar
• 1 cup Water
• 1/2 teaspoon Cardamom Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 3 cups Oil

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of rice flour, 1/2 cup of coconut sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. Whisk these dry ingredients together thoroughly until they are evenly mixed.
2. 2Gradually add the 1 cup of water to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously with a whisk or spoon. Continue mixing until a smooth batter forms that is thick but pourable, with no lumps.
3. 3Pour the 3 cups of oil into a deep pan or wok that is at least 20.32 cm (20 cm) in diameter. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches approximately 175°C; a small drop of batter should sizzle immediately and float to the surface.
4. 4Carefully pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the hot oil in a slow, circular motion to create a ring shape, approximately 10.16-12.7 cm (10-12 cm) in diameter. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the sel roti is golden brown and crispy on both sides.
5. 5Using tongs or a slotted spoon, carefully remove the fried sel roti from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter. Serve the sel roti warm or at room temperature.
