Apple Fritters Baking Tips:

Feel free to use any milk besides goat or buttermilk in the vanilla icing.

If you do not have a cooling rack, place the iced donuts on a plate.

If you do not have an ice cream scoop, use 1 tablespoon or ¼ cup dry measuring cup to scoop your batter. If you use ¼ cup it will take longer to fry doughnuts.

  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup raw cane sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
