Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Vegan butter, melted
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Set aside for about 5 minutes to allow it to curdle, creating a vegan 'buttermilk'.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the 'buttermilk' mixture, vanilla extract, and melted vegan butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Use a donut cutter or two round cookie cutters of different sizes to cut out donut shapes. Re-roll the scraps until all the dough is used.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place a few donuts into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry each side for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried donuts to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, water, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth.
Dip the slightly cooled donuts into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off.
Place the glazed donuts on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to catch any drips. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
