Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 6 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and ground nutmeg. Set aside.

Step 2

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the whole milk and vanilla extract.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 4

Gradually add the butter and milk mixture to the egg and sugar mixture, stirring constantly.

Step 5

Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll out to 1/2 inch thick.

Step 7

Cut out donuts using a donut cutter or a large round cutter and a smaller one for the holes.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Step 9

Carefully fry the donuts in batches, for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Step 10

Remove donuts from oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.

Step 11

For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and water in a bowl until smooth.

Step 12

Dip warm, drained donuts in the glaze and return to the wire rack to allow excess glaze to drip off.

Step 13

Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
