In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. - Combine Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. - Make the Batter:
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring until a smooth batter forms. - Preheat & Prep:
If using a mini doughnut maker, preheat it and lightly grease the molds.
If frying, heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). - Cook the Doughnuts:
- Mini Doughnut Maker: Fill each mold with batter and cook for 3–4 minutes or until golden brown.
- Frying: Drop small spoonfuls of batter into hot oil and fry until golden on all sides, about 2–3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Add Toppings:
While still warm, roll doughnuts in cinnamon sugar, dust with powdered sugar, or dip in your favorite glaze. - Serve & Enjoy!
These mini treats are best enjoyed fresh with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk.
