# Ingredient List:
→ Donut Holes
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour (8.75 oz)
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar (3.5 tbsp)
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 3/4 cup whole milk (6 fl oz)
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (1 oz)
09 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
10 - Vegetable oil, for frying
→ Coating
11 - 1 cup powdered sugar (4.23 oz), for dusting
→ Dipping Sauces (optional)
12 - 1/2 cup chocolate sauce (4 fl oz)
13 - 1/2 cup raspberry jam, slightly warmed (4 fl oz)
14 - 1/2 cup vanilla custard or caramel sauce (4 fl oz)
# Directions:
01 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg until evenly incorporated.
02 - In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogenous.
03 - Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep batter tender.
04 - Fill a heavy-bottomed pot with 2 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 350°F (175°C), maintaining temperature throughout frying.
05 - Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop tablespoon-sized portions of batter into hot oil in batches.
06 - Fry each batch for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until evenly golden brown and cooked through.
07 - Remove donut holes with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.
08 - While still warm, roll each donut hole generously in powdered sugar to fully coat.
09 - Arrange coated donut holes pyramid-style on a serving platter to create an appealing mountain shape.
10 - Offer immediately alongside assorted dipping sauces as desired to complement the flavors.
