Introduction
With this recipe, you can make donuts at home without much effort. It is all about making the dough and frying it in hot oil. You can make various types of donuts with this recipe, including old fashioned cake donuts, raised yeast donuts and even chocolate dipped ones like Krispy Kreme.
Ingredients
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
-
2/3 cup milk (whole or low-fat)
-
2 large eggs, beaten
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract * 1/4 cup sugar
Method
To get started, you’ll need to prepare the donuts and glaze. To make homemade donuts:
-
Prepare your baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This will help prevent sticking when you’re frying them later on!
-
Mix together all-purpose flour, sugar and salt in a bowl until combined (this is known as “dusting” your dry ingredients).
-
In another bowl, whisk together whole milk and eggs until frothy then add melted butter; stir well until smooth before adding yeast mixture* or sour cream mixture** into wet ingredients*** . Add dry ingredients into wet ingredients one third at a time until fully combined — don’t worry if there are still lumps! You can use an electric mixer for this step if you’d like; just remember not overmixing your dough because it will become tough when baked instead of soft like our tender fried treats here today!
Prepare the Donuts
-
Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl, then add the wet ingredients. Mix until smooth, then let it sit for 10 minutes.
-
Divide the dough into small balls and flatten each ball into a donut shape (you can use a cookie cutter or just roll it out).
-
In an electric deep fryer or large pot filled with oil no more than 3 inches deep, heat up your vegetable shortening/crisco until it reaches 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 Celsius). Fry each donut on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 minute per side
Prepare the Glaze
-
In a bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well. Set aside.
Dip the Donuts in Glaze
Once you’ve fried the donuts, it’s time to dip them in glaze. First, take a deep breath and remind yourself that this is going to be delicious and worth the effort. Then, place each donut on a plate or cooling rack set over a baking sheet (to catch any drips). Dip the top half of each donut into your bowl of glaze; then flip it over so that both sides are covered with chocolatey goodness!
Now that all your donuts have been dunked in chocolatey goodness (they look pretty good if I do say so myself), there are just two more steps before you can eat them: 1) Let them cool completely before eating; 2) Don’t let any kids see how many there are because they’ll want one too!
