Ingredients
-
2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
-
3 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 cup white sugar
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ (.13 ounce) envelope unsweetened soft drink mix, any flavor (such as KOOL-AID®)
-
1 cup milk
-
2 eggs
-
3 tablespoons melted butter
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 cup white sugar
-
½ (.13 ounce) envelope unsweetened soft drink mix, any flavor (such as KOOL-AID®)
Directions
-
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Mix 3 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, the baking powder, salt, and 1/2 packet of the soft drink mix together in a large bowl.
-
Whisk the milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla extract together in a separate large bowl until blended; slowly stir in the flour mixture until entirely incorporated in a batter the consistency of a thick pancake batter.
-
Drop the batter by large spoonfuls, about 2 teaspoons in size, into the preheated oil; fry until deep golden brown on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to drain on a platter lined with paper towels.
-
Mix together 1 cup sugar with the remaining 1/2 packet of soft drink mix in a flat-bottomed dish. Roll the drained donuts in the sugar mixture while still hot. Set aside on a fresh set of paper towels to cool slightly; serve warm.
Cook’s Note
I also used a Ninja blender device to mix the liquid items and then gradually mixed in the dry mixture and it came together in about 5 minutes from starting to measure.
Editor's Note
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
