Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
- While the oil heats, prepare the cinnamon sugar coating: In a shallow dish, combine the 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the donut holes from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- While still warm, toss the donut holes in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For best results, serve donut holes warm.
- You can adjust the amount of cinnamon in the coating to your preference.
- Ensure your oil is at the correct temperature for even cooking.
