Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cups Cinnamon sugar (optional for coating)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip or place it in a zip-top bag and snip off a corner.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pan or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature.
Pipe small dollops of dough (about 1 inch in diameter) into the hot oil, using scissors to cut the dough as you pipe.
Fry the doughnuts in batches, turning them occasionally with a slotted spoon, until they are golden brown (about 1-2 minutes per side).
Remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
If desired, toss the warm doughnuts in powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar to coat them evenly.
Serve the mini doughnuts warm and enjoy!
