Powdered sugar donut holes boast a melt-in-your-mouth sweetness, enveloping a soft, cakey interior with a delicate, sugary exterior.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (I always use unbleached)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar use less for a less-sweet donut hole
- 1 ½ Tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg optional
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk I use whole
- ½ - 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup melted butter
- oil for frying (canola, peanut, or vegetable are good choices)

Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet or platter with paper towels over a cooling rack.
- If using a deep fryer, pour oil into basket according to manufacturer directions.
- If using a pan, pour oil into heavy bottomed pan (I prefer to use an enameled dutch oven or steel pan since cast iron can break down oil faster.)
- Heat oil until it reaches 350 F degrees.
- Adjust heat level as needed while cooking to be sure you keep the 350 degree temperature.
- While oil is heating, stir ingredients (except for powdered sugar) together in a bowl. Do not overwork.
- Once oil has reached 350 F degrees, use a long handled metal ladle or scoop to shape batter and drop donut hole dough into the oil.
- Take caution when dropping donut hole dough into oil, never have hands or face near pot or over pot.
- Add only 6-8 donut holes to oil at a time so they dont drop oil temperature and have enough room to cook.
- When donut holes are lovely golden brown and puffy, remove from oil with long tongs or a frying basket.
- Place donut holes on paper towel and let excess oil drain off and cool.
- When donut holes are warm but not hot, roll in powdered sugar. The steam will help sugar stick to donuts, but if they are too hot it will "melt".
- Serve immediately.
