Instructions:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, buttermilk, melted butter, and 1 cup of granulated sugar until well-blended. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
• In a deep pan or fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to submerge the bonuts about halfway. Test the oil temperature by dropping a small amount of the dough; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
• Once the oil is hot, use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop small portions of the dough into the oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each bonut for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.
• As soon as the bonuts are done frying, remove them with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a cooling rack. In a separate bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. While the bonuts are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
• To prepare the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and drizzle over the warm bonuts. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
