Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 whole large egg
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 2 cups canola oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with 0.5 cup of sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg to the butter and sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Preheat your donut maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, heat the canola oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C).
If using a donut maker, lightly grease it and spoon the batter into each donut mold, filling it a little over halfway. Cook according to the machine's instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes, until golden brown.
If frying, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, carefully ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small bowl, mix 0.25 cup of sugar with the ground cinnamon.
Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, but still warm, roll each donut in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy your low sodium mini donuts!
