Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently using a spatula or wooden spoon until a uniform dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to maintain the temperature.
Using a small cookie scoop or two teaspoons, carefully drop small portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon) into the hot oil. Fry a few donut bites at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry the donut bites for 2-3 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are golden brown on all sides.
Remove the fried donut bites with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a shallow bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating.
While the donut bites are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well-coated.
Serve the cinnamon sugar donut bites warm and enjoy!
