Description

These Condensed Milk Doughnut Puffs are golden, fluffy bites of comfort—crispy on the outside, pillowy on the inside, and finished with a cinnamon-sugar coating and sweet condensed milk drizzle. No yeast, no rising time, just quick-fried perfection. The easiest way to enjoy doughnut shop flavor at home in under 30 minutes!


Ingredients

  • For the Doughnut Puffs:
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
  • For the Coating:
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Additional sweetened condensed milk, for drizzling or dipping

Instructions

  1. Heat Oil: Preheat frying oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat eggs, milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla.

  4. Combine Batter: Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir until thick and smooth.

  5. Fry: Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into hot oil. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.

  6. Drain: Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  7. Coat: While still warm, roll the puffs in cinnamon sugar.

  8. Serve: Drizzle with more condensed milk or serve it on the side for dipping.



Notes

  • Baked alternative: Use a mini muffin tin and bake at 350°F for 12–14 minutes. Texture will differ from fried.
  • Add-ins like chocolate chipsnutmeg, or orange zest can level up the flavor.
  • Serve with a trio of dips—condensed milk, chocolate sauce, and jam—for variety.
  • Great as bite-sized skewers for brunch or parties.
