Instructions
Making Cinnamon Sugar Twist Donuts is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Mix well.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
4. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until smooth.
5. Roll Out the Dough: Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
6. Cut the Donuts: Use a donut cutter or two round cookie cutters to cut out donuts. You can also cut strips of dough for twisting.
7. Twist the Donuts: Take each strip of dough, twist it a few times, and then pinch the ends together to form a donut shape.
8. Heat Oil: In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
9. Fry the Donuts: Carefully place the twisted donuts into the hot oil, frying for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
10. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the donuts from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
11. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow dish, mix the remaining granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
12. Coat the Donuts: While the donuts are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
