Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Vegan butter, melted
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Set aside for about 5 minutes to allow it to curdle, creating a vegan 'buttermilk'.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the 'buttermilk' mixture, vanilla extract, and melted vegan butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness.

Step 5

Use a donut cutter or two round cookie cutters of different sizes to cut out donut shapes. Re-roll the scraps until all the dough is used.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Carefully place a few donuts into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry each side for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 8

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried donuts to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Dip the slightly cooled donuts into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off.

Step 11

Place the glazed donuts on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to catch any drips. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
