How to Make Doughnuts With Doughnut Maker

Doughnut makers use oil to make doughnuts. Doughnut makers come in several types. The simplest are deep fryers. Makers that are more complicated have trays that flip the doughnuts for even frying. The most extravagant makers have a chamber inside to make the dough. Shape the doughnuts with or without a hole in the center. Generally, whole doughnuts have filling injected into them. Doughnuts taste best when eaten fresh.

Things You'll Need

• Bowls
• Spoon
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups flour
• 2 eggs
• Whisk
• 1 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons butter
• Powdered sugar
• Rolling pin
• Doughnut cutter
• Oil
• Doughnut maker
• Tongs
• Plate or tray
• Paper towels
• Extra cup of sugar

Instructions

1. Mix the sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and flour in a bowl with the spoon.

2. Crack the eggs into another bowl. Use the whisk to beta the eggs together. Pour the beaten eggs into the other bowl.

3. Mix in the milk and butter.

4. Sprinkle powdered sugar over a flat, clean surface. Put the dough on top of the powdered sugar. Rub powdered sugar over the rolling pin. Roll the dough out until it is about half and inch thick. Use the doughnuts cutter to cut doughnuts out of the dough.

5. Pour oil into the doughnuts maker. The amount of oil needed depends on the type of maker. Heat the oil.

6. Depending on your model, the doughnuts maker may have shelves that flip the doughnuts over while cooking. If not, you have to flip them halfway during cooking with tongs.

7. Layer two or three paper towels on a plate. Remove the finished donuts with tongs and set on the paper towels. The paper towels soak up the grease.

8. Sprinkle sugar over both sides of the doughnuts. Serve the same day as made.

Tips & Warnings

• Instead of sprinkling sugar on the doughnuts, use powdered sugar or glaze. Use the leftover dough to make doughnut holes. Use a turkey baster or injector to put jelly inside whole doughnuts.

• Hot oil burns if it splashes on skin.
