Homemade Donut Holes
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 heaping cup plain yogurt
Instructions
- Place flour, sugar, nutmeg, baking powder and salt into a medium sized mixing bowl. Stir together to fully combine ingredients, using a wired whisk.
- Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients. Add egg, vanilla and yogurt. Use wired whisk to break up the egg and combine with yogurt. Switch to a rubber spatula and gently fold ingredients together until just combined and there are no traces of flour. Do not over mix.
- Heat about 1 ½ cup of oil (sunflower or canola) in a small saucepan, over medium high heat.
- Fry dough a teaspoon at a time in the hot oil, turning donuts over once they begin to float, after about 1 ½ minutes. Continue to fry donuts, once turned, for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. NOTE: the donuts will not become very dark.
- Remove cooked donuts and place them on a paper towel lined plate. Gently pat down with additional paper towel to remove some additional oil.
- Toss cooked donuts into granulated sugar or powdered sugar and enjoy!
