Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup milk (or a non-dairy alternative)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (or oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Oil for frying

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk (or a non-dairy alternative)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

STEP 1- Prepare the Dough:

  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the sugar and mix well.

STEP 2- Wet Ingredients:

  • In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

STEP 3- Combine Ingredients:

  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.

STEP 4- Shape the Donuts:

  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times.
  • Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Use a donut cutter or two round cutters (one large and one small) to cut out donut shapes. Re-roll the scraps and cut out more donuts.

STEP 5- Heat the Oil:

  • In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil to 350 F (175 C). If you don't have a thermometer, test the oil with a small piece of dough; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

STEP 7- Fry the Donuts:

  • Carefully place a few donuts at a time into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

STEP 8- Prepare the Glaze:

  • In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

STEP 9- Glaze the Donuts:

Dip the warm donuts into the glaze, covering them completely, and then place them on a rack to let the glaze set.
