Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.

Step 5

Using a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon, carefully drop small scoops of batter into the hot oil. Fry 6-8 donuts at a time to avoid overcrowding.

Step 6

Fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 7

Repeat the frying process until all the batter is used.

Step 8

Once the donuts have cooled slightly, dust them generously with powdered sugar.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your Mini Drop Donuts!
