Homemade Donut Holes

Step 1

For the Donut Holes: In a large bowl, whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.

Step 3

Mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Step 4

Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C). Then, carefully drop teaspoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally.

Step 5

Remove the cooked donut holes with a slotted spoon and transfer them to paper towel-lined plates.

Step 6

For the Vanilla Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Dip the cooled donut holes in the bowl, coat fully, then transfer to a wire rack to set.

Step 7

For the Chocolate Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Dip the cooled donut holes in the bowl, coat fully, then transfer to a wire rack to set.

Step 8

For the Cinnamon Sugar: Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Remove the donut holes from the oil, transfer briefly to the paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil, then immediately roll them in cinnamon sugar to coat.

Step 9

Serve warm or cold, and enjoy!
