Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix with buttermilk and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
In a deep frying pan or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully drop tablespoons of dough into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the donuts from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious cheese donuts.
