Who doesn't love a fresh, warm, and delicious donut? Making homemade donuts may seem intimidating, but with this easy recipe, you can create tasty treats that are sure to impress.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the whole milk, beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until well combined and a smooth dough forms.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 1/2 inch thickness.
Use a donut cutter or a biscuit cutter and a shot glass to cut out 12 donuts. Place the donuts on the prepared baking sheet.
Heat 2 inches of oil in a Dutch oven or large pot to 375°F. Use a cooking thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Working in batches, carefully lower the donuts into the hot oil using a slotted spoon. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from the oil and let drain on paper towels.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, whole milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the donuts have cooled slightly, dip each one in the glaze, making sure to coat it evenly. Let the glaze set for a few minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
