Donut Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

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

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large heavy pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Shape the Donuts

    Using a donut cutter or two round cookie cutters, cut out shapes from the dough.

  6. 6

    Fry the Donuts

    Carefully place the donuts into the hot oil, frying a few at a time until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.

  7. 7

    Drain and Coat

    Remove the donuts from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still warm, coat them in powdered sugar.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Allow the donuts to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Moonrise Donuts!
