Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 quart vegetable oil, to fry donuts
- 1 cup sugar, to coat donuts
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large dutch oven to 375 degrees F. I use a meat thermometer to gauge temperature. Alternatively, add a small piece of food to hot oil and if it immediately sizzles and rises to the surface of the oil, it should be ready.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Pour melted butter over dry ingredients.
- Mix until crumbly. Stir in milk and egg until a thick batter of dough forms.
- Take 1 1/2 -2 tablespoons of dough and form into a small ball. Repeat until dough is gone.
- Carefully drop in 5-6 donut holes into hold oil.
- Fry, turning once, for three minutes or until golden.
- Place the fried holes on a cookie sheet set above a plate and allow the oil to drain off.
- Toss 1 cup sugar in a paper lunch bag. Close bag and shake donut holes in batches of 6 until coated.
- We love to eat these warm or to rewarm them in a skillet on low.
- Store in air-tight container until ready to eat.
