Tools you’ll need
Before diving in, ensure you have the right tools. A mixer, deep fryer or large pot for frying, a whisk, and measuring cups will make your baking experience smooth and enjoyable.
Instructions
- Prepare: Start by preheating your oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F. This ensures your munchkins are perfectly fried.
- Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients thoroughly. In another bowl, whisk the wet ingredients until smooth, then combine with the dry.
- Shape: Form the batter into small balls using your hands or a small scoop to ensure uniform size.
- Fry: Carefully place the munchkin dough into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Glaze: Prepare a simple glaze by mixing confectioner’s sugar with a splash of vanilla and milk. Dunk the fried munchkins in the glaze for that perfect finish.
