Crisp and Fluffy Pandan Chinese Doughnut
Did you know the “nut” in the western doughnut referred to the hole in the middle, which allowed the insides and outsides to be cooked evenly? Well, even though these yummy Crisp and Fluffy Pandan Chinese Doughnuts don’t have holes, their small rounded surface definitely makes it fast and easy to fry! Bite into these fritters for a colourful treat to the eyes and taste buds. Pandan is a well-loved Asian ingredient due to its distinct aroma and subtle sweet taste. This recipe calls for only pandan leaves, but if you love the flavour of pandan, feel free to add a few drops of pandan essence!
