Donut Holes

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

Peanut Butter Toffee

Method

Making Donut Holes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, mix milk, eggs, and melted butter. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed.

  2. 2

    Fry the Donut Holes

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a small cookie scoop to drop dough into the hot oil, frying in small batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  1. 3

    Coat the Donut Holes

    Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. While donut holes are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

Making Peanut Butter Toffee

  1. 4

    Prepare the Toffee

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, brown sugar, and peanut butter together until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and remove from heat.

Making Mixed Berry Compote

  1. 5

    Prepare the Compote

    In a medium saucepan, combine mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until berries are soft and syrupy, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
