Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard, egg, melted butter, and milk until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, sugar, and salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  4. Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  5. Use a donut cutter or two round cutters to cut out donut shapes and holes.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Carefully fry donuts in batches until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
  8. Remove donuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  9. In a shallow bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon for coating.
  10. While donuts are still warm, toss them gently in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
  11. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For an extra indulgent treat, drizzle the cooled donuts with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk before coating with cinnamon sugar.
