Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
Using a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon, carefully drop small scoops of batter into the hot oil. Fry 6-8 donuts at a time to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Repeat the frying process until all the batter is used.
Once the donuts have cooled slightly, dust them generously with powdered sugar.
Serve warm and enjoy your Mini Drop Donuts!
