Easy Donut Holes
Description
The recipe combines all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg with wet ingredients of egg, milk, and melted butter to form a batter. Nutmeg adds a warm spice note complementing the sweetness. Small portions of dough are deep-fried at a precise temperature until golden and cooked through, resulting in donut holes with a lightly crisp exterior and soft inside.
After frying, the holes are drained to remove excess oil then rolled in sugar to add a sweet, grainy coating enhancing texture and flavor.
These donut holes serve well fresh as a snack or dessert and are relatively simple to produce in batch with a deep pot or fryer.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk whole
- 2 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
- neutral cooking oil for deep-frying, generic cooking oil
- 1/4 cup sugar for rolling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well.
- In a pot or deep skillet, heat the oil to 375°F (190°C). Using a small round ice cream scoop, drop the dough into the oil, five or six pieces at a time. Fry until browned, about 1 to 2 minutes, turning once.
- Drain on paper towels, then roll the warm doughnut holes in sugar. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Maintain the oil temperature at 375°F (190°C) for consistent frying results.
- Fry donut holes in small batches of 5-6 pieces to avoid crowding and ensure even cooking.
- Turn fried donut holes only once during cooking, about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Drain fried donut holes on paper towels before rolling in sugar for less greasy texture.
