Coffee

Method

Coffee Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Coffee

    Start by brewing 2 cups of freshly brewed coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, espresso, etc.). Ensure it is hot and aromatic.

  2. 2

    Sweeten the Coffee

    Add 2 teaspoons of sugar to the brewed coffee. Adjust according to your taste.

  3. 3

    Add Milk or Cream

    Stir in 1 tablespoon of milk or cream to your coffee for a creamy texture.

Donut Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

  2. 5

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix together 1 cup of whole milk, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully combined.

  3. 6

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

  4. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot, heat 3 cups of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).

  5. 8

    Fry the Donuts

    Using a donut cutter or two round cookie cutters, cut out donut shapes from the dough. Carefully place the donuts into the hot oil, frying them for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  6. 9

    Drain and Cool

    Remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly.

Icing Preparation

  1. 10

    Make the Icing

    In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

  2. 11

    Ice the Donuts

    Dip the top of each cooled donut into the icing mixture, allowing the excess to drip off.

  3. 12

    Set the Donuts

    Place the iced donuts on a wire rack to allow the icing to set before serving.
