The Easiest Donut Holes On The Planet

Directions

• Pour the oil 1″ deep into a 10″ skillet. Heat oil to 350 degrees F.
• While the oil is heating, prepare the batter by whisking together the flour, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon of the cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a medium sized bowl.
• In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, milk, and melted butter.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
• Once the oil is hot, use a cookie scoop or a spoon to slowly and carefully drop balls of the batter into the hot oil.
• Fry the donut holes for 2 minutes on the first side, or until they are golden brown. After 2 minutes, turn the holes over and fry for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to continue cooking.
• Remove the donut holes from the hot oil with a slotted spoon. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• In a small bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.
• Place the warm donut holes into a paper bag and pour the cinnamon sugar inside the bag. Fold the top of the bag to close and give the bag a few shakes to coat the donut holes with the sugar. Alternatively, roll each donut hole in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
• Enjoy while warm.
