Delicious and fluffy homemade donuts that are perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Optional toppings: powdered sugar, glaze, sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace by clearing a clean surface and gathering all your ingredients and cooking tools.
  2. Mix dry ingredients by whisking together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Combine wet ingredients by beating the eggs, then stirring in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures by pouring the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Heat the oil in a frying pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Fry the donuts by carefully dropping spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Notes

Ensure the oil is at the right temperature and avoid overmixing the batter for the best texture.
