Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoons Salt
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 cups Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix with buttermilk and melted butter until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 5

In a deep frying pan or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Carefully drop tablespoons of dough into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.

Step 7

Using a slotted spoon, remove the donuts from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious cheese donuts.
