Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add the milk and melted butter, and stir to combine.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined — the batter should be thick and slightly sticky.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer to ensure the oil maintains the correct temperature.
Step 5
Carefully drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil. Avoid crowding the pot to keep the oil temperature consistent.
Step 6
Fry the doughnuts for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and puffed up. Use a slotted spoon to turn them gently.
Step 7
Remove the fried doughnuts with a slotted spoon and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 8
If desired, roll the warm doughnuts in powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar for a sweet topping.
Step 9
Serve the doughnuts fresh and enjoy!
