15 Minute Cake Donuts Recipes

15-MINUTE HOMEMADE DONUTS

Steps:

• Pour about 1/2-inch oil into a large saute pan or pot and heat over medium heat to 355 degrees F. (keeping an eye on it as it is heating). Meanwhile prepare donut dough.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt.
• Separately whisk together buttermilk and melted butter. Pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and using a fork, stir in dry ingredients and mix just until combine (be careful no to over-work dough).
• Roll dough into 1/2 Tbsp balls. Once the oil has reached 355 degrees F, fry about 1/2 the dough balls at a time.
• Fry until just golden brown on bottom, then flip and cook reverse side until golden brown.
• Carefully remove with a spider strainer or metal tongs drain onto a paper towel lined baking sheet.
• Pour 1/3 cup sugar into a dish, roll donuts in sugar. Repeat this process with remaining dough.

15 MINUTE DONUTS FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• In a medium bowl add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
• In a separate bowl add the sugar, eggs, and nutmeg together and whisk to combine. Add the milk, butter, and vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
• Slowly add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until well combined, but don't over mix.
• Heat 3 inches of oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees. Using two spoons, make a ball of batter about the size of a ping pong ball. Use one spoon to carefully scrape the dough ball from the other spoon into the hot oil. Repeat this 5 or 6 times and then fry the donuts until they are crispy and very brown on all sides, 3-6 minutes total. Be sure to adjust the temperature as needed to keep the oil temperature at 350 degrees.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the hot oil and place them on a paper towel lined baking sheet. Let the donuts drain while you repeat the process with the rest of the batter. Dust the donuts with powdered sugar and serve warm.
• These are best eaten right after making.

15-MINUTE DONUTS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with 2 inches (5 cm) of canola oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F (180°C).
• In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, salt, and ground Szechuan peppercorns. Set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the biscuits to ¼-inch (6 mm) thick. Using a 2-inch (5 cm) round cutter, punch a mini donut hole out of each biscuit. Discard the remaining dough or save for another use.
• Working in batches, add the donut holes to the hot oil and fry for 3 minutes on one side, until golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes more, until cooked through and golden brown all over. Use a wire skimmer to transfer the donut holes to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Let drain for a minute, then transfer the warm donuts to the sugar mixture and toss well to coat.
• Enjoy!
