DROP DONUTS

This is a good basic drop donut. Unlike the baked or yeast donuts, these are hard to make into a traditional donut shape without a dropper, and even then the results can vary. Most days I make these, I use the standard two-spoon technique described below. Some folks like icing or glaze on theirs, but I just sprinkle a little powdered sugar and enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

• 1½ cups all purpose flour

• ½ cup sugar (white)

• 1 egg, beaten

• ½ teaspoon baking powder

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

• Dash of salt

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• 1 cup buttermilk (2% or whole milk will also do)

• ½ cup milk (2% or whole milk will also do)

DIRECTIONS

Heat canola oil to 360 degrees while you mix the batter. Sift the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and nutmeg) together, then stir in the buttermilk, milk, sugar, vanilla, and the beaten egg. When the ingredients are incorporated, take a teaspoon of batter and rake it into the fryer with another spoon. If the dough doesn’t rise soon, gently nudge it with a chopstick, being careful not to splatter oil. After two minutes, check, and then flip, frying for another minute on the other side. These times may vary given too many factors to count, so keep a close eye on the donuts.

Makes about a dozen small donuts.
