🧾 Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

For Frying

  • Vegetable oil (for deep frying)

Optional Toppings

  • Powdered sugar
  • Chocolate glaze
  • Cinnamon sugar
  • Sprinkles

🥣 Instructions

Step 1 — Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:

  • Flour
  • Sugar
  • Baking powder
  • Salt

Step 2 — Add Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix:

  • Milk
  • Egg
  • Melted butter

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Step 3 — Knead the Dough

Lightly flour a clean surface. Turn the dough out and knead gently for 1–2 minutes until smooth.

Step 4 — Shape the Donuts

Roll the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Use a donut cutter or two round cutters to form donut shapes.

Step 5 — Heat Oil

Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).

Step 6 — Fry the Donuts

Fry donuts in batches for about 1–2 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Step 7 — Drain & Cool

Remove donuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

🍩 Methods (How It Works)

Method 1 — Frying (Classic Bakery Style)

Frying gives donuts that golden, crispy outside and soft inside.

Method 2 — Baking (Healthier Option)

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake donuts for 10–12 minutes until golden.

Method 3 — Air Fryer

Spray donuts lightly with oil and air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes.

📜 History & Formation

Donuts have been a beloved sweet treat for centuries, originating from Dutch settlers who made “olykoeks” (oily cakes). Over time, the donut evolved into the ring-shaped, fluffy pastry we know today. The donut hole was created accidentally when bakers realized the center didn’t cook evenly — so they removed it and created the classic shape we love. 🍩❤️

🧡 Conclusion

These homemade donuts are soft, fluffy, and bakery-style, yet super simple to make. With a quick batter, easy frying, and endless topping options, they’re the perfect treat for any occasion. Whether you enjoy them plain, glazed, or loaded with toppings — these donuts are sure to become a favorite!
