# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
→ Wet Ingredients
06 - 3/4 cup whole milk
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ For Frying
10 - 4 cups vegetable oil
→ Cinnamon Sugar Coating
11 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
12 - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
13 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
# Method:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well blended.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk the whole milk, eggs, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
03 - Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
04 - Pour vegetable oil into a deep pot or Dutch oven and heat to 350°F. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
05 - Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop tablespoon-sized portions of batter carefully into the hot oil. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes per batch.
06 - Remove the cooked donut holes with a slotted spoon and set them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
07 - Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Brush each donut hole lightly with melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar blend until evenly coated.
08 - Arrange donut holes on a serving platter and present while still warm for best flavor and texture.
