Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Roll Out the Dough:
- Lightly flour a clean, flat surface and roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a doughnut cutter or two round cutters to shape the dough into doughnuts.
- Heat the Oil:
- In a deep pan, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). It’s essential to maintain this temperature to ensure the doughnuts cook evenly and achieve a golden-brown color.
- Fry the Doughnuts:
- Carefully place the doughnuts into the hot oil, frying them for 1-2 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow even cooking.
- Drain and Dust:
- Once cooked, remove the doughnuts and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
