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)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

While still warm, toss the donut holes in cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar, if desired. Alternatively, serve them plain.

Step 8

Repeat the frying and coating process for the remaining dough.

Step 9

Serve the donut holes fresh and warm. Watch as they magically disappear!
