How to make fluffy homemade donuts?
To make fluffy homemade donuts, you’ll need:
Ingredients:
1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
2. 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
3. 2 tsp baking powder
4. Pinch of salt
5. 3/4 cup milk
6. 1 egg
7. 2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions:
1. Combine dry ingredients: Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter.
3. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
4. Rest the dough: Let the dough rest for 30 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.
5. Knead and cut: Knead the dough lightly and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a donut cutter or a glass to cut out donuts.
6. Fry donuts: Heat about 2-3 inches of oil (like vegetable or canola oil) to 350°F (175°C). Fry the donuts for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
7. Drain and cool: Remove the donuts from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Tips for fluffiness:
– Use the right type of flour (all-purpose or bread flour works well).
– Don’t overmix the dough.
– Use the right temperature oil for frying.
– Don’t overcrowd the pot when frying.
Enjoy your fluffy homemade donuts!
