15 Minutes Homemade Donuts
Homemade Donuts taste like what you get at a local bakery, but you can make them at home in 15 minutes! This simple donut recipe is perfect for a quick weekend treat and always guarantees to satisfy those cravings for delicious teeth.
Home-Made Donuts In Simple Cake Style
The bite-sized donuts (AKA Donut Holes) are glossy and golden brown, the outside is coated with sugar, and the inside is soft and smooth, soft. Like a donut of an old but ready-made cake in an instant!
I made this simple donut recipe because who can resist a new donut? But how many of us want to put in the whole effort of donating homemade donations? I’ve seen donut holes made with store-bought biscuit dough but I’m talking about the freshly made dough.
It’s a hundred times better and incredibly easy. No mixer required, no mixing, rolling, or cutting. Just a quick shake and shape and ready to fry!
Top ideas
This simple homemade donut dough is made with flour, milk, egg yolks, yeast, and sugar, then the donuts are fried and topped with sugar. This recipe is easy to make and produces very little flavor! Do it once and you will never use a different donuts recipe. Very good! Then you can finish them the way you like. I just go the sugar way but you can also close them by saying:
- vanilla donut glaze
- chocolate bar
- cinnamon sugar or pumpkin spice sugar
- strong sugar
Ingredients used to make homemade donut holes
Ingredients for Donut Hole
For this recipe, you will only need 7 basic ingredients that you may already have. You will need:
- All-purpose flour: I like to use pure but bleach flour that will work well too.
- Baking powder: This helps the donuts to rise, not overcook.
- Salt: Just use regular table salt. Nothing special here.
- Buttermilk: I do not recommend anything else here, the milk and vinegar area is not thick enough.
- Slicing Pieces: You will add this to both donut dough and use a wrap.
- Melted butter: This adds a delicious flavor to the donuts. Stick with real butter.
- Vegetable oils: Needed for frying.

How To Make Donuts From scratch
- Preheat the oil in a deep saute pan or pot over medium heat.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl or measuring cup, combine the butter with melted butter.
- Add the dry ingredients to the water and stir until just combined.
- Gently knead the dough into 1/2 tbsp.
- Carefully place the dough balls in hot oil (frying about half of them at a time) and fry until golden brown on both sides.
- Use a spider to transfer paper towels, then allow to drain and fold in the sugar.
- A bowl is full of fresh donut holes covered with cinnamon sugar.
How to Make Donut Glaze
If you would like to cover the donuts with an old vanilla glaze * you can mix it up (then add a spoon on top):
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
To get the chocolate glaze just add 2 Tbsp of sweet cocoa powder to the above mixture.
Does It Matter Which Oil I Sprinkle With Donuts?
Yes, you should use neutral spice oils with a high smoke point. I recommend using vegetable oil when making these fried donuts.
The Best Homemade Donuts Tips
- Use a deep-frying thermometer to check the oil temperature so that the donuts cook well.
- Do not try to fry all the donut holes at once, otherwise, you will lower the oil temperature and they will not fry properly (they will start to absorb more fat).
- These homemade donut holes taste better on sugar otherwise they are not sweet enough.
- Fried donuts are best eaten on a prepared day. The texture changes the next day and they start to dry out.
