County Fair Style Kool-Aid® Drop Doughnuts
1
BHYLER
"I tried 'Chicken Charlie's Deep Fried Kool-Aid®' at the San Diego County Fair. They were very good so I started to search on a way to recreate them. I searched for drop doughnut recipes and took one of those and adapted it. This is a very close version of the one I had at the fair in looks and taste. The fair's version was cherry-flavored, but you could use any flavor you like."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Mix 3 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, the baking powder, salt, and 1/2 packet of the soft drink mix together in a large bowl.
- Whisk the milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla extract together in a separate large bowl until blended; slowly stir in the flour mixture until entirely incorporated in a batter the consistency of a thick pancake batter.
- Drop the batter by large spoonfuls, about 2 teaspoons in size, into the preheated oil; fry until deep golden brown on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to drain on a platter lined with paper towels.
- Mix together 1 cup sugar with the remaining 1/2 packet of soft drink mix in a flat-bottomed dish. Roll the drained donuts in the sugar mixture while still hot. Set aside on a fresh set of paper towels to cool slightly; serve warm.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note
- I also used a Ninja blender device to mix the liquid items and then gradually mixed in the dry mixture and it came together in about 5 minutes from starting to measure.
- Editor's Note
- We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.

Definitely taste the Kool-aid! Wouldn't recommend using even half the packet in the dough!

Makes a lot, easy to make and really enjoyed the "brings me back to being a kid" flavor. My 7 year old grand daughter loved them!

My family LOVES these. I have made them in cherry, black cherry and fruit punch. I even got my neighbor hooked on them.

These were so much fun to make. My kids mixed while my hubby fried. It was a nice change from the usual choc chip or peanut butter cookie. Using the Kool-Aide as instructed gave it a rich f...
