Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth.

Step 5

Roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a doughnut cutter or two round cutters (one larger for the doughnuts and one smaller for the holes) to cut out shapes.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or skillet to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature for consistent frying.

Step 7

Carefully drop the doughnuts and doughnut holes into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove the doughnuts and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

While the doughnuts cool slightly, make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 10

Dip the tops of the warm doughnuts and doughnut holes into the glaze. Place them back on the wire rack and allow the glaze to set for a few minutes.

Step 11

Serve fresh and enjoy!
