Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth and fully combined.

Making the Dough

  1. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

  2. 4

    Chill the Dough

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough chill in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.

Frying

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or heavy skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 6

    Form Donut Holes

    While the oil is heating, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form small balls of dough, about 1 inch in diameter.

  3. 7

    Fry the Donut Holes

    Carefully drop a few donut holes into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  4. 8

    Drain and Cool

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the donut holes from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Coating

  1. 9

    Prepare Cinnamon Sugar

    In a shallow bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.

  2. 10

    Coat Donut Holes

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