How to Make Basic Doughnut Holes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Once the oil is hot, use a teaspoon to drop the doughnut hole batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
  6. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove the doughnut holes from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar or your favorite glaze while still warm and enjoy!
