Ingredients

• 5 cups vegetable oil for frying
• 2 Tablespoons sugar
• 4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted

For the Coating:

• 2-3 tablespoons butter melted
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg.
2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
3. Then add in the milk-egg mixture into those dry ingredients, then finally stirring in the melted butter
4. Mix until you get a soft dough.
5. Keep in mind that this dough will expand when it is fried, so just 1 tablespoon of the batter will yield about a 2-inch doughnut hole. If you would a SMALLER doughnut hole, drop only about 1 teaspoon of batter into the oil. You should get about 24 larger doughnut holes or 48 small ones
6. In a Large pot or deep fryer add the oil, using a deep-fry thermometer is extremely helpful and recommended because you want the oil to be 350ºF. Carefully place dough balls into the hot oil; cook until light golden brown.
7. Using wire skimmer or metal slotted spoon, transfer holes to wire rack lined with a paper towel OR into a paper bag if you want to just shake them one by one until coated with the mixture. Lightly brush each one with melted butter before coating!
8. Serve room temp
9. ENJOY!
