Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for coating)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
  2. In another bowl, whisk eggs and milk; gradually mix into dry ingredients until a smooth dough forms.
  3. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to approximately 350°F (175°C).
  5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about half an inch thick; cut into desired shapes.
  6. Fry donuts until golden brown on both sides; drain on paper towels.
  7. While warm, toss in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon.

Notes

  •  For added flavor, experiment with fillings like chocolate or dulce de leche.
  •  Maintain oil temperature for optimal frying results; too hot will burn them while too cool will make them greasy.
