Ingredients:
For the donuts:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp vegetable oil (for frying)
For the sugar coating:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
For the chocolate glaze:
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp milk (or heavy cream for a richer glaze)
Instructions:
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg (if using). Set aside.
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—this can result in dense donuts. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
Heat the Oil: In a deep pot or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil to about 350°F (175°C). To check the oil temperature, drop a small spoonful of batter into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
Shape the Donuts: Spoon the batter into a donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full. If you’re making fried donuts, you can drop spoonfuls of batter directly into the hot oil, shaping them gently with a spoon.
