Description
Delightful homemade donuts reminiscent of the sweet treats enjoyed in the Wizarding World, with a fluffy texture and a cozy cinnamon-sugar coating.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Oil for frying
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon. In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Gently fold wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Knead and Shape: Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough. Knead gently for about a minute, then roll out to 1/2 inch thick. Cut out donut shapes with a cutter.
- Heat the Oil: In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F. Test with a small piece of dough; it should bubble.
- Fry the Donuts: Fry donuts in small batches for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While warm, toss donuts in a sugar and cinnamon mixture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow to cool slightly before serving, but enjoy while warm!
Notes
Use a thermometer to ensure the oil’s temperature is correct for frying. Handle the dough gently to maintain fluffiness.
