Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 whole large egg
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 2 cups canola oil
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with 0.5 cup of sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Add the egg to the butter and sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
Step 4
Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Preheat your donut maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, heat the canola oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C).
Step 7
If using a donut maker, lightly grease it and spoon the batter into each donut mold, filling it a little over halfway. Cook according to the machine's instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes, until golden brown.
Step 8
If frying, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, carefully ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 9
In a small bowl, mix 0.25 cup of sugar with the ground cinnamon.
Step 10
Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, but still warm, roll each donut in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Step 11
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy your low sodium mini donuts!
