Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well mixed.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine; do not overmix.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes to thicken slightly.
  5. While the batter is resting, prepare your frying station. In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, pour enough vegetable oil to fill it about 2 inches deep.
  6. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer or drop a small amount of batter into the oil; if it sizzles and rises, the oil is ready.
  7. Prepare the cinnamon-sugar coating by mixing together 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
  8. Once the oil is hot, use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop small amounts of batter into the hot oil, frying about 4-5 donut bites at a time.
  9. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to turn them halfway through cooking.
  10. Carefully remove the donut bites from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  11. While warm, roll the donut bites in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
  12. Arrange the coated donut bites on a serving platter. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  13. For an extra treat, serve with a side of melted chocolate or caramel sauce for dipping.
  14. Optionally, sprinkle a little more cinnamon-sugar on top before serving for added flavor and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil is at the right temperature to avoid greasy donut bites.
  • Feel free to experiment with different flavorings in the batter, such as almond extract or citrus zest.
