Delicious Munchable Donut Holes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Munchable Donut Holes.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious donut hole adventure, grab a mixing bowl and combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

2. Step 2

   Set this mixture aside for now.

3. Step 3

   In a larger bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed.

4. Step 4

   Keep mixing until the mixture becomes thick and pale, which should take about three minutes.

5. Step 5

   Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the milk and melted butter until well combined.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to bring everything together! Gradually add the flour mixture and the milk mixture to the egg mixture, alternating between the two.

7. Step 7

   Mix on low speed just until everything is combined.

8. Step 8

   If you notice any flour clinging to the sides, feel free to stir it in gently by hand.

9. Step 9

   Once your dough is ready, cover it and pop it in the refrigerator for about an hour, or until it’s nice and easy to handle.

10. Step 10

    When you’re ready to shape your donut holes, lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to about half an inch thick.

11. Step 11

    Use a 1 1/2-inch round cutter to cut out your donut holes, dipping the cutter in flour between cuts to prevent sticking.

12. Step 12

    If you have leftover dough, simply reroll it and keep cutting until you’ve used it all.

13. Step 13

    Place the cutouts on a wire rack set over a sheet pan to catch any drips.

14. Step 14

    Next, let’s get frying! In a deep pot or fryer, pour in enough vegetable oil to reach a depth of 2 1/2 to 3 inches—about 2 quarts should do the trick.

15. Step 15

    Heat the oil to 365°F, using a frying thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature.

16. Step 16

    Carefully fry the donut holes in batches of five or six, turning them halfway through cooking.

17. Step 17

    They should take about two minutes to turn a lovely light golden brown.

18. Step 18

    Once they’re done, transfer them to the wire rack to cool for a couple of minutes.

19. Step 19

    While your donut holes are cooling, let’s whip up a scrumptious vanilla glaze! In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

20. Step 20

    Gradually add hot water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired glaze consistency.

21. Step 21

    If it gets too thick, just add a bit more hot water, one teaspoon at a time, until it’s perfect.

22. Step 22

    Now comes the fun part! Dip each cooled donut hole into the vanilla glaze, letting any excess drip off.

23. Step 23

    Place them back on the wire rack and let them sit for about 30 minutes so the glaze can set.

24. Step 24

    And there you have it—delicious, homemade donut holes that are sure to impress! Enjoy every bite of your sweet creation!.
