Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.
Step 2
In a small bowl, beat the 1 egg, then stir in the 3/4 cup milk and 2 tbsp melted butter.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir with a spoon until just combined; the dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
Step 4
Heat the 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (a cube of bread browns in about 60 seconds).
Step 5
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough into the hot oil, about 6 at a time, and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally.
Step 6
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While still warm, roll each donut hole in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar.
Step 7
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
