Doughnut Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Doughnut Batter

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

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix the Batter

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

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Doughnuts

    Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying a few at a time. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Drain and Cool

    Remove the doughnuts from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
