- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions:
-
Combine Sugar and Salt: In a large bowl, combine the white sugar and salt, ensuring an even distribution of sweetness and flavor.
-
Add the Egg: Stir in the egg, incorporating it well into the sugar mixture, creating a smooth consistency.
-
Mix in Wet Ingredients: Add the canola oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract to the bowl, blending them thoroughly with the sugar and egg mixture, creating a creamy base for your doughnuts.
-
Sift Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda, ensuring they are well combined and free of any lumps.
-
Gradually Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture in four or five portions, mixing each portion thoroughly into the wet ingredients before adding the next, ensuring a smooth and homogenous dough.
-
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it reaches a soft yet workable consistency, ensuring it’s not too sticky but still pliable.
-
Roll Out the Dough: Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch, using a rolling pin to achieve an even surface.

Cut the Dough: Use a doughnut cutter to cut out doughnut shapes from the rolled-out dough, ensuring each piece is uniform in size for even cooking.

Fry the Doughnuts: Heat up oil in a deep fryer to a temperature of 370 degrees Fahrenheit (or until a bread cube fries in 60 seconds), ensuring the oil is hot enough for quick and crispy frying.
-
Fry Until Golden Brown: Carefully place the doughnuts into the hot oil, frying them until they turn a beautiful golden brown color, making sure to turn them once during the frying process to ensure even cooking.
-
Drain and Cool: Once fried to perfection, remove the doughnuts from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil, allowing them to cool slightly before serving.
