- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
- While the oil heats, in a shallow bowl, mix together the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon for coating.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the donut holes from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain briefly.
- While still warm, toss the donut holes in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure your oil is at the correct temperature for evenly cooked donut holes.
- Do not overmix the batter for tender donut holes.
- Toss the donut holes in the cinnamon sugar while they are still warm for best adherence.
