Recipe: Glazed Donut Fritters

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ⅓ cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)

For the Glaze:

• 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Make the Batter: Start by whisking together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until combined. Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing until the batter is thick and smooth.
2. Heat the Oil: Heat your frying oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep frying pan or Dutch oven. Using a thermometer is helpful to maintain the correct temperature. Be careful not to let the oil overheat, as this can lead to burnt fritters.
3. Fry the Fritters: Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches of about 2-3 minutes per side. You’ll know they’re ready when they’re golden brown and puffed up. Once fried, remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
4. Prepare the Glaze: While the fritters cool slightly, make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Adjust the thickness by adding more milk if needed to get the perfect consistency.
5. Glaze the Fritters: While still warm, dip the fritters into the glaze, ensuring each one is fully coated. Place them on a wire rack to let the glaze set and harden slightly.
6. Enjoy! Serve these fritters warm and enjoy their crispy, fluffy, and glazed perfection. They pair beautifully with coffee, tea, or even a cold glass of milk. Once you try them, you’ll never want to buy store-bought donuts again!
