Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Oil for frying
Instructions:
In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Do not overmix; this might make the doughnuts tough.
In a saucepan or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
Using a mini doughnut pan or a piping bag fitted with a round tip, carefully pipe small circles of batter into the hot oil. You can also use a spoon to drop small portions of batter into the oil.
Fry the mini doughnuts for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, carefully flip them.
Once the mini doughnuts are cooked, remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Optionally, you can toss the warm doughnuts in cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar to add sweetness and flavor.
Enjoy your delicious homemade perfectly mini doughnuts! They are best served fresh and can be enjoyed as is or with your favorite glaze or toppings.
