Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.75 cup milk
- 0.25 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 quart vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together milk, buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Preheat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a large round nozzle, or alternatively, use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
Once the oil is hot enough, pipe the batter directly into the oil in circular motions to form mini donuts about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Fry the donuts in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each donut for about 1 minute on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 1 minute.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, ensuring the oil returns to the appropriate temperature between batches.
Allow the mini donuts to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar, dip them in your favorite glaze, or add sprinkles for added decoration before serving.
