Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pancake Donuts
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ cup of granulated sugar until fully blended.
- In a separate bowl, crack 2 large eggs and whisk them before adding 1 cup of buttermilk, ¼ cup of melted and cooled unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry mixture. Gently fold until just combined. Set aside.
- Cover the bowl with batter and let it rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
- In a deep pot, pour enough vegetable oil to fill it at least 2 inches deep and heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- Using a piping bag or two spoons, dispense the batter into the hot oil, creating donut shapes.
- Cook the pancake donuts for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Once golden, remove them from the oil and place on the prepared baking sheet to drain.
- Prepare the glazes by whisking together the ingredients until smooth.
- Dip each warm pancake donut into your prepared glaze, ensuring they're fully coated.
- While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle your favorite toppings over each donut.
- Allow the glazed pancake donuts to sit on a wire rack for about 15-20 minutes to set.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
- If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
