Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter (melted, not hot)
- 4 large Eggs (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar (adjust to 0.75‑1 cup for sweeter donuts)
- 1 cup Evaporated Milk (can substitute regular milk or pig milk (Cameroon))
- 3 cup All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
- as needed tablespoon Water (add only if batter is too stiff)
- 2 liter Vegetable Oil (neutral oil for deep frying)
Instructions
Measure and Prepare Ingredients
Gather all ingredients. Melt the butter gently and set aside to cool slightly. Bring eggs to room temperature.
Time: PT5M
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl whisk together baking powder, ground nutmeg, salt, and the sifted all‑purpose flour (reserve the sugar for the wet mix).
Time: PT5M
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a second bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, evaporated milk, and granulated sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Time: PT5M
Combine Wet and Dry, Adjust Texture
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir gently until a uniform batter forms. If the batter feels too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a thick‑but‑pourable consistency (similar to pancake batter).
Time: PT5M
Heat Oil and Test Temperature
Fill the heavy‑bottom pot with enough oil to submerge the donuts (about 2‑3 inches). Heat over medium‑high heat. Drop a tiny piece of butter into the oil; if it sizzles slowly and turns golden after 2‑3 seconds, the oil is around 350°F and ready.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: 350°F
Deep Fry Donuts
Scoop batter with a spoon and gently drop it into the hot oil. Fry for 2‑3 minutes per side, turning once, until the donuts are golden brown and puffed. Stir the oil occasionally to keep the temperature even and avoid overcrowding.
Time: PT7M
Temperature: 350°F
Drain and Cool
Using a slotted spoon, remove the donuts and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Transfer to a cooling rack to finish crisping the exterior.
Time: PT5M
