Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cooking Ingredient:
- Oil for frying (or baked donut molds, if preferred)
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients by whisking flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, blend melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until thoroughly incorporated.
- Gradually merge wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring until a uniform, smooth dough develops.
- Choose cooking method: frying or baking. For frying, heat oil to 350F (175C) in a deep pan.
- Roll dough on a floured surface and cut into donut shapes using a round cutter or knife.
- For frying, carefully lower donuts into hot oil, cooking 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- For baking, preheat oven to 350F (175C), grease donut molds, and bake 12-15 minutes until lightly golden.
- Create chocolate glaze by melting chocolate chips and butter using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
- Incorporate milk and vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture, stirring until glossy. Optional: add powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
- Allow donuts to cool completely before dipping tops into prepared chocolate glaze.
- While glaze remains wet, sprinkle chocolate cookie crumbs or crushed chocolate biscuits on top.
- Let glazed donuts rest until chocolate sets completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for maximum freshness, consuming within 2 days.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth dough consistency and even mixing.
- Avoid overworking the dough to prevent tough, dense donuts by mixing just until ingredients are combined.
- Maintain consistent oil temperature between 350-375F when frying to achieve golden, crispy exterior without greasy texture.
- For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend and add xanthan gum for better binding.
- Control glaze thickness by adjusting milk quantity – less milk creates thicker coating, more milk creates thinner drizzle.
