Donuts are a beloved treat that everyone can enjoy. Making them from scratch might seem daunting, but with this step-by-step guide, you’ll be able to create delicious sweet donuts right in your own kitchen. Follow along and satisfy your sweet tooth!

Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Optional toppings: powdered sugar, chocolate glaze, sprinkles

Mixing and Kneading the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing well until a dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Cutting and Shaping the Donuts

Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a floured surface again. Roll it out to a ½-inch thickness. Using a round cookie cutter or a drinking glass, cut out circles from the dough. Use a smaller round cutter or a bottle cap to create the donut hole in the center of each circle. Place the cut-out donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Frying the Donuts

In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil to a temperature of 350°F (175°C). Carefully drop a few donuts into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the donuts for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn golden brown. Once cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined tray to remove excess oil.

Topping and Serving

Now comes the fun part – toppings! You can simply dust the donuts with powdered sugar, dip them in a chocolate glaze, or coat them with colorful sprinkles. Get creative and experiment with different toppings to suit your taste.

Serve the freshly made sweet donuts while they’re still warm and enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth goodness!

Donuts are best enjoyed the day they are made, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

With this step-by-step guide, you’ll be able to make delicious sweet donuts at home. So put on your apron, gather your ingredients, and indulge in some homemade donut magic!
