Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

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

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

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

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Doughnuts

    Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Drain and Dust

    Remove the doughnuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. In a shallow bowl, mix cinnamon and powdered sugar. Roll the warm doughnuts in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
