  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk (or almond milk)
  • 2 large eggs
  • Vegetable oil for frying (about 3 cups)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Gather ingredients and necessary tools such as a mixing bowl, whisk, rolling pin, cookie cutter, and frying pot.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the milk and eggs until smooth. Gradually add to dry ingredients while stirring gently until just mixed—avoid overmixing.
  4. Roll Out Dough: Lightly flour your surface and roll out dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter.
  5. Heat Oil: In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Test readiness with a small piece of dough; it should sizzle upon contact.
  6. Fry Doughnuts: Carefully fry dough rounds until golden brown on each side (1-2 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
