How to Make Drop Donuts

  1. Preheat your oil to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
  5. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop rounded teaspoons of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  8. Fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Turn carefully with a slotted spoon.
  9. Remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  10. Once slightly cooled, dust generously with granulated or powdered sugar. Serve immediately and enjoy!
