Samoa Donut (♥)

With this simple recipe, you can make delicious homemade donuts that will rival those at SideCar Donuts. These donuts are flavorful, fluffy, and ideal for any time of day as a sweet treat or for breakfast.

Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 2 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1/2 tsp salt. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg. 2/3 cup buttermilk. 2 large eggs. 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted. 2 tsp vanilla extract. Vegetable oil for frying. 1 cup powdered sugar for glaze. 2-3 tbsp milk for glaze. 1 tsp vanilla extract for glaze. Sprinkles or toppings of your choice.

Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly lumpy. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350F 175C. Drop spoonfuls of the donut batter into the hot oil using a cookie scoop or spoon. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the donuts for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the donuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze. Dip each donut into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them on a wire rack to set. Add sprinkles or your favorite toppings while the glaze is still wet. Let the glaze set for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade SideCarDonuts_4!
