Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cups Cinnamon sugar (optional, for coating)
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (optional, for coating)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, carefully drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the donut holes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
While still warm, toss the donut holes in cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar, if desired. Alternatively, serve them plain.
Repeat the frying and coating process for the remaining dough.
Serve the donut holes fresh and warm. Watch as they magically disappear!
