Pour about ½-inch of oil into a large sauté pan or pot and heat over medium heat to 355 degrees F.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ¼ cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Separately whisk together the buttermilk and melted butter. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and using a fork, stir in the dry ingredients, and mix just until combined.
Roll the dough into ½ tablespoon of balls.
Once the oil has reached 355 degrees F, fry about ½ of the dough balls at a time. Fry until just golden brown on the bottom, then flip and cook reverse side until golden brown.
Carefully remove with a spider strainer or metal tongs drain onto a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
Pour ⅓ cup of sugar into a dish, then roll the donuts in the sugar. Repeat this process with the remaining dough.
Serve and enjoy!
