Ingredients
For Making Dough for Doughnuts
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour

- 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ cup Powdered Sugar I used icing sugar
- ½ cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter melted

For Making Glaze for Doughnuts
- 1 cup Icing Sugar | Confectioners Sugar
- 2 tablespoon Milk or as needed
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Take flour, salt, baking powder in a bowl and mix well. Set aside. Take egg, sugar, milk, melted butter, vanilla in a bowl and whisk using a fork. Now add the flour in and mix well using the fork. Mix to a soft dough. Don't over knead the dough. Over kneading will make your doughnuts too dense.
- Take the dough onto a rolling board and roll it out. Cut doughnut shape using doughnut cutter or a cup and a small bottle cap. Take the scraps and roll it again and repeat the same, do this till the entire batch of dough is used up.
- Heat oil for deep frying. Drop doughnuts in and fry till golden on both sides. Remove it to a plate and set aside.
- Make glaze by mixing all the ingredients to a little semi thick consistency.
- Dip doughnuts in and coat on both sides. Arrange it in a cooling rack so the glaze sets and harden. Remove it and serve.
Notes
- Instead of plain flour, you can use wheat flour. Even though it will affect the texture a bit, it is a healthy alternative. For better doughnut texture, You can use half wheat and half plain flour.
- Instead of melted butter, oil can be used.
- If you have milk powder, you can add ¼ cup of milk powder and ½ cup of water instead of milk.
- I used vanilla glaze for the doughnuts, you can make chocolate glaze as well.
- Don't over knead the dough. Over kneading will make your doughnuts too dense.
