Recipe for making mini doughnuts:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a heavy pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Drop small spoonfuls of the dough into the hot oil. You can use a cookie scoop or your hands to form small balls of dough.
- Fry the mini doughnuts until they are golden brown, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the mini doughnuts from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Optionally, roll the warm mini doughnuts in cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
- Serve the mini doughnuts warm and enjoy!
