Creating homemade donuts for kids is not just about satisfying sweet cravings—it’s an opportunity for fun family bonding, creativity, and even learning. Here’s a simple guide to making soft, fluffy donuts that your little ones will love!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until you get a smooth dough. - Shape the Donuts:
Lightly flour a surface, roll out the dough to about ½-inch thickness, and use a donut cutter (or two round objects) to shape the donuts. - Fry to Perfection:
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Carefully drop in the donuts and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. - Add the Fun:
This is where kids can get creative! Dip the donuts in glaze, sprinkle with colorful toppings, or even try them with a decadent chocolate gravy recipe for extra deliciousness.
