Ingredients for Basic Doughnut Holes
How to Make Basic Doughnut Holes
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Once the oil is hot, use a teaspoon to drop the doughnut hole batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the doughnut holes from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Dust with powdered sugar or your favorite glaze while still warm and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
