Ingredients
Donut Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg Adds a warm, cozy flavor.
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1/4 cup Melted butter
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- as needed Oil (for frying)
Glaze Ingredients
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup Milk (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently mix until just combined.
- Lightly flour your countertop and turn the dough out onto it. Roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick.
- Use a donut cutter or cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them on a floured surface. Cover with a towel.
- In a deep fryer or large pot, heat oil to 375°F (190°C).
- Carefully drop the cut donuts into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Transfer the fried donuts to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Glazing
- In a medium bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Dip the warm donuts into the glaze, ensuring they are well coated.
- Set the glazed donuts back on the wire rack to allow the glaze to set.
Notes
For a richer glaze, add more vanilla extract or orange zest. Keep the oil temperature consistent for fluffy donuts. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
