Ingredients:
For the doughnuts:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the cinnamon sugar coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
- Prepare the doughnut batter:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fry the mini doughnuts:
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop small portions of dough into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry the doughnut bites for about 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the doughnuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Coat with cinnamon sugar:
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating.
- While the doughnuts are still warm, brush them lightly with melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Serve and enjoy:
