Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Wet Ingredients:

  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Other:

  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
  3. Combine: Add wet mixture into dry ingredients, stir until just combined (dough will be slightly sticky).
  4. Heat oil: In a deep pot, heat 2–3 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Form donut holes: Scoop dough with a small spoon or cookie scoop, then gently drop into hot oil. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Drain: Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels.

Notes

  • Be careful when frying to maintain oil temperature for even cooking.
  • Coatings can be adjusted to personal preference.
