Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if a few lumps remain.

Chill the Dough
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the dough to firm up slightly.
Frying the Donuts
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 6
Shape the Donuts
Using a donut cutter or two round cutters, cut out donut shapes from the chilled dough. Make sure to cut out a hole in the center.
- 7
Fry the Donuts
Carefully place the donut dough into the hot oil. Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Making the Glaze
- 8
Prepare the Glaze
In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
- 9
Glaze the Donuts
Once the donuts have cooled slightly, dip the tops into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off. Place the glazed donuts on a wire rack to set.
