1

Gather Your Ingredients

First things first, let's make sure we have everything we need. Here's a list of the items you'll require: Cap'n Crunch cereal (about 2 cups), all-purpose flour (1 and 1/2 cups), sugar (1/4 cup), baking powder (2 teaspoons), salt (1/2 teaspoon), milk (3/4 cup), eggs (2), vanilla extract (1 teaspoon), oil for frying (enough for deep frying), and powdered sugar for dusting.

2

Crush the Cap'n Crunch Cereal

Take your Cap'n Crunch cereal and give it a good crushing. You can use a blender or food processor to pulverize the cereal into fine crumbs. You want the crumbs to be about the same texture as breadcrumbs. It's okay if there are some slightly larger pieces, as they will add a delightful crunch to your donuts.

3

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Cap'n Crunch cereal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good stir to ensure all the ingredients are well incorporated.

4

Whisk in the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour this mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make your donuts dense and tough.

5

Heat the Oil

Fill a large, deep pot with oil for frying. You'll need enough oil to fully submerge the donuts. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of around 350°F (180°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature and adjust the heat as needed to maintain the desired frying temperature.

6

Fry the Donuts

Once the oil is hot and ready, carefully drop spoonfuls of the donut batter into the oil. You can either use a piping bag fitted with a round tip or simply use two spoons to form the donut shapes. Fry the donuts for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to carefully flip the donuts and remove them from the oil when they're done.

7

Dust with Powdered Sugar

Place the fried donuts on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. While they're still warm, generously dust the donuts with powdered sugar. The sugar will stick to the donuts and create a sweet, crispy coating that complements the Cap'n Crunch flavor perfectly.
