Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2. 2

   Mix Wet Ingredients

   In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.

3. 3

   Combine Mixtures

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

4. 4

   Shape the Donuts

   Turn the dough onto a floured surface and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out donuts using a donut cutter or two round cutters.

5. 5

   Fry the Donuts

   In a deep pot, heat oil to 375°F (190°C). Fry donuts until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Prepare the Glaze

   In a bowl, mix powdered sugar with a few tablespoons of milk until smooth. For chocolate glaze, add cocoa powder and mix well.

7. 7

   Finish and Serve

   Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze and add toppings as desired. Serve fresh with locally-roasted coffee.
