Ingredients
To make donuts, you will need the following ingredients:
3 cups of all-purpose flour
1/3 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
1/2 cup of milk
2 eggs
1/4 cup of melted butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Oil for frying
Optional: powdered sugar, glaze, or sprinkles for topping
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the dry ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Make sure that all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 2: Mix the wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3: Combine the wet and dry ingredients
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4: Roll out the dough
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a donut cutter or a round cookie cutter to cut out the donuts. You can also use a knife to cut out the shape of the donuts.
Step 5: Fry the donuts
In a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil to 375°F. Carefully add the donuts to the oil and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain the excess oil.
Step 6: Add toppings
Once the donuts have cooled, you can add toppings such as powdered sugar, glaze, or sprinkles. Serve and enjoy!
