Recipe Overview
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil (for frying)
1 cup chocolate chips (for glaze)
Optional toppings: sprinkles, crushed nuts, shredded coconut
Directions:
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Fry the Donuts: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
Prepare the Glaze: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip each donut into the chocolate glaze, then place on a wire rack to set.
Add Toppings (Optional): While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle the donuts with your favorite toppings, such as colorful sprinkles, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut.
Serve and Enjoy: Allow the chocolate glaze to set before serving. Enjoy your homemade Chocolate Covered Donuts with a tall glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage.
