Step by Step: How I Make the Best Mini Doughnuts
1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Whisk to evenly distribute everything and remove clumps.
2: Add the Wet Ingredients
In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms. Don’t overmix.
3: Roll and Cut
Lightly flour your surface. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick.
Use a doughnut cutter or two round cookie cutters to shape doughnuts and holes.
4: Heat and Fry
Heat oil in a deep fryer or pot to 375°F (190°C).
Fry the doughnuts in batches, 2-3 minutes per side, until puffed and golden brown.
5: Drain and Sugar Coat
Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
While still warm, roll them in granulated sugar for that classic look and crunch.
