Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons whole milk for glaze
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract for glaze
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into tablespoon-sized balls.
Carefully drop several dough balls into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the fryer.
Fry the donut holes for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough.
For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the donut holes are slightly cooled, dip each one into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off.
Place the glazed donut holes on a wire rack to set the glaze.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
