Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Sugar
• 0.75 cup Milk (low fat)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar. Whisk to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Step 2

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the milk, melted unsalted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Gently mix until a sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain even temperature.

Step 5

Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, carefully drop small balls of dough into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

Step 6

Remove the donut holes from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 7

For the glaze, mix powdered sugar, water, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.

Step 8

Once the donut holes are slightly cooled but still warm, dip the tops in the glaze and place them on a wire rack to set.

Step 9

Let the glaze harden for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade low sodium glazed donut holes!
