The traditional donut is given a rich and sweet taste by the creamy mascarpone and cinnamon icing in these delicious mascarpone cinnamon donuts. Ideal as a dessert or for breakfast!
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 2 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp salt. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. 2/3 cup milk. 2 large eggs. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese. 1 cup powdered sugar. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. 1-2 tbsp milk for icing. Vegetable oil for frying.
Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350F 175C. Drop spoonfuls of the donut batter into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. In a small bowl, whisk together mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon until smooth. Add milk as needed to reach your desired icing consistency. Dip each donut into the mascarpone cinnamon icing, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place them on a wire rack to set. Serve your delicious Mascarpone Cinnamon Donuts and enjoy!
