Ingredients
Scale
Donuts
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings and Coating
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup chocolate sprinkles
- 2 tbsp butter (for greasing)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Sift together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl to ensure a smooth, lump-free dry mixture.
- Whisk eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.
- Gradually pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until a soft, cohesive batter forms without overmixing.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F, maintaining a consistent temperature for even cooking.
- Using a small cookie scoop or piping bag, carefully drop tiny dollops of batter into the hot oil, frying 3-4 mini donuts at a time to prevent overcrowding.
- Fry each batch for 1-2 minutes, turning donuts halfway through, until they achieve a golden-brown exterior and are cooked through.
- Remove donuts with a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drain on a wire rack lined with paper towels.
- While still warm, roll donuts in powdered sugar or sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles for a delightful coating.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor, enjoying these bite-sized treats fresh and crispy.
Notes
- Use a precise cookie scoop or piping bag for uniform mini donuts that cook evenly and look professionally made.
- Maintain consistent oil temperature around 350°F to prevent greasy or undercooked centers, ensuring golden-brown perfection every time.
- Control frying batches by cooking only 3-4 mini donuts simultaneously, preventing oil temperature drops and guaranteeing crispy exterior.
- Experiment with alternative coatings like cinnamon sugar, maple glaze, or dairy-free chocolate drizzle to accommodate different dietary preferences and flavor profiles.
