Where to find ingredients
The ingredients for this recipe are easily found in most grocery stores. All-purpose flour, sugar, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and sugar for dusting are basic items. Look for baking powder in the baking or confectionery aisle. Ground cinnamon is usually found among the spices. If you can't find baking powder, a common substitute is to use the same amount of baking soda mixed with one teaspoon of cream of tartar, or even active dry yeast, although the texture may vary slightly.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, crack the 2 eggs
- Add the 1/2 cup sugar and 1 cup milk
- Whisk well with a whisk or fork until smooth
- Gradually add the 2 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, mixing continuously to incorporate and prevent lumps
- The batter should be creamy and slightly thick, falling slowly from the spoon
- Fold in the 1 tablespoon of baking powder, mixing gently just until fully incorporated
- Do not overmix
- In a deep pot, heat a generous amount of vegetable oil over medium heat
- The oil should be enough to submerge the doughnuts
- Heat the oil to approximately 180°C (350°F)
- To test, drop a small piece of batter into the hot oil
- If it bubbles and rises slowly, the oil is at the ideal temperature
- Use two spoons to shape small portions of the batter
- Carefully drop the batter portions into the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid cooling the oil and ensure even browning
- Fry the doughnuts until golden brown on all sides
- Flip them during the process if necessary for uniform color
- Remove the fried doughnuts with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil
- In a shallow dish, mix the 1 cup sugar with the 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Roll the still-warm doughnuts in the cinnamon-sugar mixture
- Serve immediately and enjoy
