Quick and Simple Homemade Donuts

Step by Step Instructions

Ingredients

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  • Step 1: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Step 2: In another bowl, beat the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.
  • Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix the batter should be thick but smooth.
  • Step 4: Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (180°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
  • Step 5: Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to avoid crowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping once golden brown.
  • Step 6: Remove the donuts and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate to soak up excess oil.
  • Step 7: Mix powdered sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Roll warm donuts in the mixture until fully coated.
  • Step 8: Serve warm with coffee, tea, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
