Ingredients
Scale
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus more for coating
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil for frying
Cinnamon for coating (mixed with sugar)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are fine.
In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Carefully drop the batter by rounded teaspoons or use a small cookie scoop into the hot oil, working in small batches.
Fry for about 2 to 3 minutes, turning occasionally, until the donut holes are golden brown all over.
Remove the donut holes with a slotted spoon and drain them briefly on paper towels.
In a shallow dish, combine extra granulated sugar and cinnamon. Toss the warm donut holes in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
Serve warm and enjoy the moment!
Notes
Sasha says don’t worry about perfect shapes; these are meant to be rustic and fun.
If you love cinnamon, feel free to add a bit more to your coating mixture.
You can serve these with chocolate sauce or dulce de leche for dipping.
