Ingredients

  • 50 g butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 150 g sugar
  • 200 ml milk
  • 1 vanilla bean (pulp)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 625 g flour
  • 1 packet baking powder
  • flour (for rolling)
  • 1.5 L oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    In a bowl beat the butter with the eggs and sugar until creamy, then stir in milk, vanilla pulp, salt, and nutmeg.

  2. 2.

    Mix flour with baking powder, gradually adding it to the dough using the paddle attachment of an electric hand mixer, kneading as you go.

  3. 3.

    Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1 cm thickness. Use a donut cutter (or a 7 cm glass) to cut dough rings. From these circles, cut smaller centers with a 3 cm glass.

  4. 4.

    Heat oil in a pan until bubbles rise at the tip of a held wooden spoon (or heat oil in a fryer to 175°C). Fry the donuts in batches until golden brown all around.

  5. 5.

    Remove finished donuts, drain on paper towels, then roll in sugar if desired and serve immediately.
