Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and 1/2 cup sugar until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined.
  3. Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead lightly until smooth. Pinch off small pieces and roll into balls about one inch in diameter.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Test with a small piece of dough; it should sizzle immediately.
  5. Fry donut holes in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  6. Toss warm donut holes in the remaining sugar mixed with cinnamon until fully coated.
