Method

Doughnut Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.

  3. 3

    Form the Dough

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

  4. 4

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a doughnut cutter or two round cutters to cut out doughnut shapes.

  5. 5

    Prepare for Frying

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Frying and Coating

  1. 6

    Fry the Doughnuts

    Carefully drop the doughnuts into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

  2. 7

    Coat with Sugar

    While the doughnuts are still warm, roll them in granulated sugar until fully coated. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
