Donuts
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Doughnut Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly, then add it to the wet ingredients. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed; do not overmix.

Heat the Oil
In a deep saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer for accuracy.

Fry the Donuts
Using a piping bag or a spoon, carefully drop batter into the hot oil in donut shapes. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Make the Cinnamon Crema

Glaze the Donuts
Once the donuts have cooled slightly, dip the tops into the cinnamon crema to coat. Let them sit for a few minutes to allow the glaze to set.
