👩‍🍳 How to Make Them

1️⃣ Mix the Batter

• In one bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• In another, combine egg, milk, vanilla, and melted butter.
• Pour wet into dry and stir gently until smooth—no overmixing!

2️⃣ Heat Oil

• Fill a deep pan with oil (at least 2 inches deep).
• Heat to 350°F (175°C)—use a thermometer for accuracy.

3️⃣ Scoop & Fry

• Using a teaspoon or mini scoop, drop small batter portions into the hot oil.
• Fry in batches 2–3 minutes per side, until puffed and golden.

4️⃣ Drain & Sugar-Coat

• Transfer to paper towels to blot excess oil.
• While warm, roll in sugar until fully coated.

🍴 Serving Ideas

• Serve with tea, coffee, or hot chocolate
• Add dipping sauces: chocolate, caramel, berry
• Try a dusting of cinnamon sugar or drizzle with glaze

💡 Tips for Doughnut Perfection

• Keep oil at steady temp—too hot = burned outsides, raw centers
• Use a cookie scoop for even shapes
• Add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for bakery-style flair
