Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 4 cups cooking oil for frying
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave and let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth dough forms.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Use a small round cutter or the rim of a small glass to cut out circles from the dough. Gather and reroll scraps as necessary.
Heat the cooking oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully lower a few dough rounds into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry them until golden brown on all sides, which should take about 3-4 minutes per batch, turning them occasionally with a slotted spoon.
Once golden, remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Allow the Tim Bits to cool slightly before rolling them in powdered sugar or your choice of a low sodium topping.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your low sodium treat!
