Nothing beats the pleasure of sinking your teeth into a fluffy and soft donut, especially when it’s homemade. While it may seem intimidating to make donuts from scratch, it is actually easier than you think! With our step-by-step guide, you can achieve donut perfection right in your own kitchen. So, let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg (if desired).

Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Step 3: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring gently. Mix until the dough comes together.

Step 4: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5: Shape the dough into a ball and place it back into the mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 6: Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release any air bubbles. Roll it out to a 1/2 inch thickness.

Step 7: Use a donut cutter or a round cookie cutter to cut out donut shapes from the dough. Remember to cut out smaller circles in the middle to create the classic donut shape.

Step 8: Place the donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between each one to allow them to rise. Cover the tray with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 9: While the donuts are rising, preheat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Step 10: Carefully drop a few donuts into the hot oil and fry for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 11: Once the donuts have cooled slightly, you can dust them with powdered sugar, glaze them, or top them with your favorite sprinkles or fillings.

Step 12: Serve and enjoy these fluffy and soft homemade donuts with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk!

There you have it, a simple step-by-step guide to making fluffy and soft donuts at home. Experiment with different toppings and fillings to create your own personal twist on this classic treat. So why wait? Grab your apron and start baking your way to donut heaven!
