Super Easy Donut Holes

Ingredients

Donuts
1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
⅓  cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½  teaspoon nutmeg
½  teaspoon salt
1 egg
½  cup milk
2 Tablespoons melted butter

vegetable oil for frying, about 2 inches deep in your pot

Toppings
½  cup confectioners’ sugar
and/or ½ cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon mixed in.

Directions

1. In the bowl, using a stand or hand mixer, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and salt.
2. Add in milk, egg, and melted butter, and mix until well combined.
3. Fill a deep skillet or medium pot with vegetable oil, about 2 inches deep.
4. Using a fry thermometer, heat oil to 350˚F to 375˚F. Make sure it stays at that temperature each time you fry the donut holes.
5. Put the confectioners’ sugar into a small bowl and set out several stacked paper towels next to the stove for drying the doughnut holes, along with a cooling rack with parchment paper underneath.
6. When the oil is hot, spoon in 6 individual teaspoonsful of dough at a time in the oil and fry on each side for about 1 to 2 minutes total. Using a slotted spoon, remove the donut holes from the oil and place on paper towels to soak up excess oil. 
7. Next, using a fork, roll the donut  in either the confectioners’ sugar or cinnamon-sugar mixture. Then place on cooling rack to cool slightly before serving warm.
