Puffy Twist Donut: Easy treats for everyone!

Puffy Twist Donut: Easy treats for everyone!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a donut cutter to cut out the donuts and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
6. Carefully add the donuts to the hot oil, frying in batches for about 1-2 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly.
8. Optional: Dip the warm donuts in a glaze or cinnamon sugar before serving.
   Tips:

• Make sure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying the donuts to ensure they cook evenly and turn out light and fluffy.
• You can customize these donuts by adding different flavorings to the dough, such as lemon zest or cinnamon.
• For a shortcut, you can use a biscuit cutter to cut out the donuts if you don’t have a donut cutter.
