Fluffiest Eggless Doughnuts

1In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour (2 cups), sugar (½ cup), baking powder (1 tsp), and baking soda (½ tsp).

2Add buttermilk (1 cup), vanilla extract (2 tsp), and melted butter (¼ cup) to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth dough forms.

3Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.

4After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of 1/2 inch.

5Cut out doughnut shapes using a doughnut cutter or two round cutters of different sizes.

6Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed saucepan to 350°F (175°C).

7Carefully drop the doughnuts into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, flipping once to ensure even cooking (about 2 minutes per side).

8Remove the fried doughnuts and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

9While still warm, dust the doughnuts with powdered sugar (½ cup) for a sweet finish.

10Serve the fluffiest eggless doughnuts warm and enjoy the softest, delicate, and incredibly tasty treat!
