These Easy Donut Holes are a delightful treat, featuring a simple dough made with all-purpose flour, heavy cream, and milk. With their irresistible flavor and quick prep time, they are perfect for any gathering or sweet craving.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 cups + 2 tablespoons (298g) all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons (11g) baking powder
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (237ml) heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup (119ml) whole milk
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add the heavy whipping cream and milk, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough forms a gooey consistency.
- Using a cookie scoop, take 1 tablespoon of dough at a time, scooping directly into the hot oil or placing on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to chill until ready.
- Heat oil in a 3-quart saucepan to 350°F, using a thermometer to monitor the temperature. Have a cookie sheet lined with paper towels ready nearby.
- Fry 3-4 donut holes at once, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each donut hole for about 3-5 minutes until dark golden brown, flipping them halfway through frying.
- Remove from oil using a slotted spoon and place on the paper towel-lined baking sheet. Allow them to cool slightly before rolling in cinnamon sugar or glazing.
Notes
Ensure the oil temperature is stable while frying to achieve perfect donuts.
Experiment with different toppings for a variety of flavors.
These donut holes can be served warm or at room temperature.
