Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the decoration:
- White icing or glaze
- Red, blue, and yellow food coloring
- Edible silver glitter (optional)
- Black edible markers or black icing gel for detailing
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until combined. Do not overmix to keep the donuts light and fluffy.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Using a donut cutter or two round cutters, cut out donut shapes from the batter.
- Carefully fry the donuts in the hot oil until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Once cooled, dip the donuts in white icing or glaze for a stellar base.
- Divide the remaining icing into small bowls and tint with food coloring to create red, blue, and yellow shades.
- Decorate the donuts with vibrant colors to mimic the Arc Reactor using piping bags or small brushes.
- Apply edible silver glitter for extra sparkle, and use black edible markers for intricate detailing resembling the Marvel arc reactor.
Notes
- Store decorated donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Refrigerate if storing longer, and reheat slightly before serving for fresh flavor.
- Use a separator if stacking to prevent smudging decoration.
