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.
