Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup cinnamon sugar (for coating)
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until well combined.
- Fold in melted butter until the batter is smooth and thick.
- Use a tablespoon or small scoop to form small batter balls.
- Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep fryer or large pot.
- Fry batter balls in batches for about 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- While still warm, toss the donut bites in cinnamon sugar until evenly coated.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying for crispy results.
- Work in small batches to avoid overcrowding in the fryer.
- For a less messy coating, use a shaker or a plastic bag to coat the hot donuts with cinnamon sugar.
- Serve immediately for the best crispy texture and flavor.
