Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
  5. While the oil heats, in a shallow bowl, mix together the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon for coating.
  6. 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.
  7. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donut holes from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain briefly.
  8. While still warm, toss the donut holes in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  9. 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.
