Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
• 0.5 cups Cinnamon sugar (optional for coating)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip or place it in a zip-top bag and snip off a corner.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pan or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature.

Step 6

Pipe small dollops of dough (about 1 inch in diameter) into the hot oil, using scissors to cut the dough as you pipe.

Step 7

Fry the doughnuts in batches, turning them occasionally with a slotted spoon, until they are golden brown (about 1-2 minutes per side).

Step 8

Remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.

Step 9

If desired, toss the warm doughnuts in powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar to coat them evenly.

Step 10

Serve the mini doughnuts warm and enjoy!
