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

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until a dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep pot to 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into tablespoon-sized balls.

Step 6

Carefully drop several dough balls into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the fryer.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough.

Step 9

For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 10

Once the donut holes are slightly cooled, dip each one into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off.

Step 11

Place the glazed donut holes on a wire rack to set the glaze.

Step 12

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
