Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for coating)
- ½ cup cinnamon sugar (for coating)
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth dough forms.
- Heat Oil: Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. It should be about 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Donut Holes: Using a spoon or your hands, drop small portions of dough into the hot oil. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes, turning them until golden brown on all sides.
- Drain: Remove the donut holes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Coat with Sugar: While still warm, roll the donut holes in a mixture of powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar.
- Serve: Serve warm, or let cool for later enjoyment.
