INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • ½ cup white sugar
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🥛 1 cup milk
    • 🥚 1 egg, beaten
    • 🧈 ¼ cup butter, melted and cooled
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • For Deep Frying

    • 2 quarts oil for deep frying

  • For Coating

    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ½ cup white sugar

STEPS

1

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, butter, and vanilla. Mix until well blended. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

2

Heat oil in a deep heavy skillet or deep-fryer to 370°F (185°C). On a floured board, roll chilled dough out to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out doughnuts. Use a smaller cutter to cut holes from the center. If you do not have a small cutter, use the mouth of a bottle.

3

Fry doughnuts in hot oil until golden brown, turning once. Remove from oil to drain on paper plates. Combine the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 cup sugar in a large resealable bag. Place a few warm donuts into the bag at a time, seal and shake to coat.
