Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 cup whole milk

2 large eggs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Oil for frying

For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients and place them on your countertop for easy access.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

          Shape the Donuts: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about a minute until it comes together. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a donut cutter or two round cookie cutters (one large and one small) to cut out the donuts and donut holes.

            Heat Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

              Fry the Donuts: Carefully place donuts in the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and transfer them to a wire rack to drain excess oil.

                Make the Glaze: In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

                  Glaze the Donuts: Once the donuts have cooled slightly, dip each one into the glaze, ensuring it’s well-coated. Let the excess glaze drip off and place them back on the wire rack to set.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes, then indulge in your delicious, melt-in-your-mouth glazed donuts!
