Equipment
- mixing bowl
- whisk
- heavy bottom pot
- slotted spoon
Ingredients
- all-purpose flour
- granulated sugar
- baking powder
- salt
- milk
- yogurt
- egg
- unsalted butter
- vanilla extract
- oil
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, yogurt, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C) on a candy thermometer. Use a small ice cream scoop or two spoons to drop small portions of the batter (about 1 tablespoon each) into the hot oil.
- Fry the mini donuts for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- While the mini donuts are still warm, roll them in the desired coating: cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, or glaze. Ensure they are well coated on all sides.
- Serve the Irresistible Homemade Mini Donuts warm. They are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two. Enjoy these delightful bites of sweetness and savor the joy of homemade indulgence.

Notes
- Experiment with different glaze flavors by adding cocoa powder, lemon zest, or flavored extracts to the glaze mixture.
- For a unique twist, you can fill the mini donuts with fruit preserves, chocolate ganache, or Nutella after they are fried and cooled.
- Feel free to customize the coating by adding spices like nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon sugar or experimenting with colored powdered sugar for a playful touch.
