Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to prepare the dough.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together 2/3 cup milk, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  4. Heat oil in a deep frying pan or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C) using a cooking thermometer.
  5. Roll out the dough and cut out 12 donuts using a donut cutter or two cookie cutters, ensuring each has a center hole.
  6. Carefully place the donuts into the hot oil and fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a cooling rack to cool completely.
  8. In a bowl, mix 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon green food coloring to make the glaze, then dip each cooled donut into the glaze and decorate with chocolate chips and white icing.

Notes

Pro Tip: Always double-check the oil temperature; too hot will scorch the donuts while too cool will make them greasy.
