Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for coating)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for coating)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until completely combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold together until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the correct temperature.

Step 5

Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, carefully drop 1-tablespoon portions of batter into the hot oil. Fry about 6-8 doughnuts at a time, depending on the size of your pot, to avoid overcrowding.

Step 6

Fry the doughnuts for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they puff up and turn golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the doughnuts and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 7

In a shallow bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating.

Step 8

While the doughnuts are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.

Step 9

Serve the cinnamon drop doughnuts immediately while warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
