  • 1/2 Cup Buttermilk
  • 1/4 Cup Sugar 
  • 3 TBS Melted Butter

Glaze

  • 1/2 TSP Vanilla OR 2 TBS Cocoa Powder 

Instructions

  1. Pour about 1/2-inch oil into a large saute pan or pot and heat over medium heat to 355 degrees F. (keeping an eye on it as it is heating). Meanwhile prepare donut dough.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt. 
  3. Separately whisk together buttermilk and melted butter. Pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and using a fork, stir in dry ingredients and mix just until combine (be careful no to over-work dough).
  4. Roll dough into 1/2 Tbsp balls. Once the oil has reached 355 degrees F, fry about 1/2 the dough balls at a time.
