Ingredients
Preparation
Pour 2-inches of canola oil into a heavy-bottomed pot with a deep-fry thermometer attached. Heat to 350 degrees F.
Meanwhile, in the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add the butter and pulse several times to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Stir in the milk until combined.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and dust the dough with flour. Gently pat the dough out until it’s a ½-inch in thickness. Use a 2-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out circles.
Fry the doughnuts a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, being careful not to let them burn. Let drain on paper towels to soak up the excess grease.
While still hot, generously coat each doughnut in granulated sugar.
Serve and enjoy.
