Glazed Donut Holes<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the donut holes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  <\/strong>2 cups all-purpose flour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  <\/strong>2 tablespoons granulated sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  <\/strong>4\u00bd teaspoons baking powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  <\/strong>\u00bd teaspoon salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  <\/strong>1 cup milk (whole or 2%)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  <\/strong>1 large egg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  <\/strong>\u00bc cup (\u00bd stick) unsalted butter, melted<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  <\/strong>Vegetable oil (or canola) for frying (about 4-5 cups)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the glaze:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  <\/strong>1\u00bd cups powdered sugar (confectioners\u2019 sugar)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  <\/strong>3-4 tablespoons milk (adjust for thickness)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  <\/strong>1\u00bd-2 teaspoons vanilla extract<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.  Prepare the dough:<\/strong> In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined into a thick, sticky dough (don\u2019t overmix).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.  Heat the oil:<\/strong> In a deep pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Use a thermometer for best results\u2014too low and they\u2019ll be greasy, too high and they\u2019ll burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.  Form and fry the bites:<\/strong> Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop 1-tablespoon portions of dough into the hot oil (they\u2019ll expand, so don\u2019t overcrowd). Fry in batches for 1-2 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until golden brown and puffed. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.  Make the glaze:<\/strong> While frying, whisk the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth and pourable (add more milk if too thick, more sugar if too thin).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.  Glaze them:<\/strong> While the donut holes are still warm, dip each one into the glaze (or drizzle over them). Let excess drip off, then place on a wire rack to set (the glaze will harden slightly as it cools).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.  Serve:<\/strong> Enjoy warm for the best texture\u2014crispy outside, soft inside, with that sweet glaze!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  <\/strong>For extra flavor, add 1 teaspoon cinnamon to the dough or toss in cinnamon sugar before glazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  <\/strong>These are best fresh, but store leftovers in an airtight container for 1-2 days (reheat briefly in microwave).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  <\/strong>Safety: Be careful with hot oil\u2014never leave it unattended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
