1.
Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl and stir in the sugar.
2.
Beat together the eggs, oil and milk and add to the dry ingredients, mixing well to soft dough. Shape into a smooth ball and then turn out on to a floured work surface.
3.
Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1cm|1/2" thickness. Flour a cutter and cut out rounds, then cut out the centres using a smaller cutter. Re-roll the trimmings to make more doughnuts.
4.
Heat the oil in a deep pan and cook the doughnut rings 2-3 at a time for 3-4 minutes, until golden, then turn them over and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper. Leave to cool.
5.
For the icing: sift the icing sugar into a bowl and beat in enough water to give a smooth thick icing. Dip one side of the doughnuts in the icing and leave to set.
