Ingredients
To make these delicious doughnuts, you will need the following ingredients:
2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Oil, for frying
1/2 cup granulated sugar, for coating
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, for coating (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Step 3: Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Do not overmix the dough.
Step 4: Roll and Cut the Doughnuts
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Then, use a doughnut cutter or a round cookie cutter to cut out the doughnuts. If you don't have a cutter, you can use a glass to cut out the doughnuts and a smaller one to make the holes.
Step 5: Fry the Doughnuts
In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the doughnuts in the oil and fry until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 6: Coat the Doughnuts
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon (if using). While the doughnuts are still warm, coat them in the sugar mixture.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!
Serve the doughnuts warm and enjoy their deliciousness!
