- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For Frying:
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil works best)
For Coating:
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- ½ cup cinnamon sugar (for rolling)
- 50g melted chocolate (for drizzling)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the doughnuts light and fluffy.
Step 2: Shape the Doughnuts
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- Using a piping bag or mini doughnut mold, carefully shape the batter into small rings.
- Drop the doughnuts into the hot oil, frying each side for 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 3: Drain and Coat
- Remove the doughnuts and drain them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- While still warm, roll them in powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar for a classic finish.
- Alternatively, drizzle melted chocolate over the doughnuts for a rich, indulgent touch.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Arrange the mini doughnuts on a serving plate and enjoy them fresh.
- Pair them with coffee, tea, or a glass of milk for the perfect treat.
