Making mini sugar doughnuts is a delightful and fun treat. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
For the Doughnuts:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
For Coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
Instructions:
Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
4. Heat Oil:
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
5. Form Doughnuts:
- Drop small spoonfuls of dough into the hot oil or use a mini doughnut pan if you have one. Fry until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
6. Drain Excess Oil:
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Coat with Sugar:
- While the doughnuts are still warm, roll them in granulated sugar to coat evenly.
8. Serve:
- Serve the mini sugar doughnuts warm and enjoy!
These mini sugar doughnuts are perfect for snacking or serving at parties. They are best when freshly made, but you can also store any leftovers in an airtight container for later enjoyment. Feel free to get creative with additional toppings or glazes if you like!
