1

Prepare the donut dough

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of magic fairy dust. Mix well and then add melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the dough comes together.

2

Knead and let the dough rise

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise for about an hour, or until it doubles in size.

3

Shape the donuts

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out donut shapes. Then, use a smaller round cookie cutter to cut out the center of each donut. Place the donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4

Fry the donuts

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot. Carefully add the donuts to the hot oil, frying them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried donuts onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

5

Decorate with shimmer

In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar and edible shimmer dust. Dip each cooled donut into the shimmer mixture, making sure it's completely coated. Allow the shimmer to set before serving.
