Chinese Sugar-Dusted Fried Dough Rings
A home-style Chinese fried dough ring, a close cousin of youtiao and jian bing street snacks, made from a lightly leavened egg-and-milk dough shaped into rings and deep-fried until golden, then dusted warm in sugar. The result is crisp outside, tender and faintly eggy within, finished with a simple sugar coating rather than glaze.

Instructions
1
Sift the flour, 10g sugar, baking powder and salt together into a mixing bowl.
2
Whisk the warm milk, beaten egg and melted butter together, then pour into the dry ingredients and stir until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
3
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly for about 1 minute until smooth; cover and rest for 15 minutes.
4
Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces, roll each into a rope about 12cm long, and join the ends to form a ring, pinching firmly to seal.
5
Heat the vegetable oil in a small pan or wok to 170C, checking with a thermometer.
6
Fry the dough rings for 2 minutes per side, turning once, until deep golden brown and cooked through.
7
Lift onto a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil for 1 minute.
8
While still warm, toss or dust the rings generously in the reserved 9g sugar.
9
Serve immediately while warm and crisp on the outside.
