Deep Fried Mini Cake Donut

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg until well combined.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the donuts tough.

4. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (180°C).

5. Using a small cookie or ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot, as this will lower the oil temperature too quickly.

6. Fry the mini donuts for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

7. Remove the donuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

8. While the donuts are still warm, dust them generously with powdered sugar.

9. Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter, making sure to monitor the oil temperature and adjust as needed for even cooking.

10. Serve the deep fried mini cake donuts warm and enjoy the delightful combination of fluffy texture and sweet flavor!
