Donuts
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter
Leavening and Binding:
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Coating and Topping:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl, creating a uniform dry ingredient base for the donuts.
- Whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until thoroughly blended and smooth.
- Pour liquid ingredients into dry mixture, gently folding with a spatula until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms without overmixing.
- Transfer dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes to achieve a consistent texture.
- Roll out dough to approximately 1/2-inch thickness using a rolling pin, ensuring an even surface.
- Use a circular donut cutter or two different-sized round cutters to shape donuts, creating a central hole in each piece.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F, maintaining a consistent temperature for even cooking.
- Carefully lower donuts into hot oil, frying each side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove donuts with a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drain on paper towels.
- While still warm, dust donuts generously with powdered sugar, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Serve immediately for optimal freshness and texture, enjoying the warm, crispy exterior and soft interior.
Notes
- Check oil temperature precisely using a thermometer to ensure perfectly golden, crispy donuts without burning.
- Experiment with alternative flour types like whole wheat or gluten-free blends for dietary variations and unique textures.
- Allow dough to rest for 10-15 minutes after kneading to enhance gluten development and improve overall donut softness.
- Avoid overcrowding the frying pan to maintain consistent oil temperature and prevent soggy, greasy results.
