Cinnamon Sugar Dusted Doughnuts Recipe

Doughnut Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Doughnut Batter

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

2. 2

   Mix Wet Ingredients

   In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly, then add it to the wet mixture.

3. 3

   Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

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

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Doughnuts

   Using a spoon or piping bag, carefully drop spoonfuls of the doughnut batter into the hot oil, frying a few at a time until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

6. 6

   Drain and Cool

   Using a slotted spoon, remove the doughnuts and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly.

7. 7

   Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

   In a shallow bowl, mix together 1 cup of sugar and 2 tsp of cinnamon. Roll the warm doughnuts in the cinnamon sugar until fully coated.

8. 8

   Serve with Toppings

   Serve the doughnuts warm with mixed berry jam or chocolate sauce for dipping.
