Ingredients
For the donut holes, you'll need: - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - 1/2 cup granulated sugar - 2 teaspoons baking powder - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 1/2 cup milk - 1 large egg - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - Vegetable oil, for frying For the cinnamon sugar coating, you'll need: - 1/2 cup granulated sugar - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon - Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined. 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 mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter. 4. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. 5. Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, drop small balls of dough into the hot oil. Fry the donut holes until they're golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes. 6. Using a slotted spoon or a spider, remove the donut holes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil. 7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the coating. 8. While the donut holes are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until they're coated on all sides. 9. Serve the cinnamon donut holes warm or at room temperature.
