Doughnut Base

Toppings

Method

Making the Doughnut Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until fully combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the mixture should be slightly lumpy.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.

  5. 5

    Fry the Donuts

    Using a spoon or a donut cutter, carefully drop the batter into the hot oil. Fry donuts for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Making the Glaze

  1. 6

    Prepare the Glaze

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Assembling the Donuts

  1. 7

    Glaze the Donuts

    Once the donuts have cooled slightly, dip the tops into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off.

  2. 8

    Add Toppings

    Immediately sprinkle the glazed tops with chopped pecans and crispy bacon if desired.
