Make a Good Batch of Lula Donuts!

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 quart vegetable oil, for frying

• 3 - 4 Tablespoons whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Step 1: In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and stir in the buttermilk, egg, and butter.

Step 3: Onto a floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/3 inch thick. Use the template to cut out the shapes.

Step 4: In a Dutch oven, heat the oil to 350ºF. (If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large pot.) Fry the donuts for 1 minute, then flip and fry for 1 more minute, until golden brown and cooked through. Let drain on a wire rack.

Step 5: In a large bowl, whisk the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla. Into a small bowl, set aside 1/4 cup. Into a separate third bowl, set aside 1 cup and dye with red food gel dye.

Step 6: To the remaining icing, stir in the black cocoa powder and black food gel dye. Dip the donuts into the glaze and place on a wire rack to set for 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 7: Spoon the red glaze onto the ears, arms, and feet, to decorate.

Step 8: Pipe the white icing to create the face, then add small circles of red icing to create the eyes.

Step 9: Once the icing has set, the donuts are ready to serve.
