How to Make Alice's Doughnuts
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat your oil to 375°F (190°C) in a large pot or deep fryer.
- Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry the doughnuts for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- While the doughnuts are still warm, roll them in your choice of coating – cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, or a glaze (recipe ideas can be found online).
- Allow the doughnuts to cool slightly before serving and enjoying!
