Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 Egg
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until a thick batter forms. Do not overmix.
In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 365°F (185°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Using two spoons, carefully drop heaping spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry a few doughnuts at a time, avoiding overcrowding the pot.
Fry the doughnuts for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil.
Place the fried doughnuts on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Once the doughnuts are slightly cooled but still warm, dust them generously with powdered sugar.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, fluffy drop doughnuts!
