Ingredients
Scale
- 5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup whole milk
- Toppings – see notes.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add heavy whipping cream and milk; stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough forms, resulting in a gooey mixture.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon-sized balls of dough using a cookie scoop. You can place them straight into hot oil or on a baking sheet lined with parchment for chilling.
- Heat oil to 350°F in a 3-quart saucepan. Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature. Place a cookie sheet lined with paper towels nearby.
- Fry 3-4 donut holes at a time without overcrowding the pan to maintain oil temperature. Fry for about 3-5 minutes until dark golden brown, flipping halfway through.
- Remove from oil using a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Let cool slightly before rolling in cinnamon sugar or glazing.
Notes
Ensure the oil temperature is well-monitored to avoid unevenly cooked donut holes.
Experiment with different toppings to customize your donut holes to your taste.
These can be enjoyed fresh or stored for a few days in an airtight container.
