Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: German
Serves: 12 donuts
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until the dry ingredients are well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until fully combined. Add the melted butter to the wet mixture and stir until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Preheat your deep fryer or a large pot filled with oil to 350°F (175°C). Make sure there is enough oil to submerge the donuts.
- Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop balls of dough into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the donuts for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Allow the donuts to cool slightly for a few minutes. While they are still warm, generously dust them with powdered sugar for a snowy effect.
- Serve the Malis Kreppel German Snowball Donuts warm, and enjoy your delicious treat!
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your oil is precisely 350°F for the perfect golden-brown color and even cooking.
- Don't Overmix: Gently fold your batter to keep the donuts light and airy.
- Use Fresh Oil: Fresh, clean oil will give you the best flavor and crispiest texture.
- Powdered Sugar Trick: Dust the donuts while they're still warm for the most beautiful and even coating.
- Serve Immediately: These donuts are best enjoyed fresh and warm, right after dusting with powdered sugar.
- Drain Excess Oil: Use paper towels to remove any extra oil and keep your donuts crisp, not greasy.
- Portion Control: Use an ice cream scoop for uniform, perfectly sized donuts every time.
