Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 4 cups cooking oil for frying
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
Step 2
Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth dough forms.
Step 5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Step 6
Use a small round cutter or the rim of a small glass to cut out circles from the dough. Gather and reroll scraps as necessary.
Step 7
Heat the cooking oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Step 8
Carefully lower a few dough rounds into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
Step 9
Fry them until golden brown on all sides, which should take about 3-4 minutes per batch, turning them occasionally with a slotted spoon.
Step 10
Once golden, remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 11
Allow the Tim Bits to cool slightly before rolling them in powdered sugar or your choice of a low sodium topping.
Step 12
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your low sodium treat!
