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 the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add the heavy whipping cream and milk, stirring until the dough forms; it should be gooey.
- With a cookie scoop, take tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them directly into hot oil or chill on a baking sheet.
- Heat oil in a 3-quart saucepan to 350°F, using a thermometer for accuracy. Keep paper towels nearby.
- Fry 3-4 donut holes at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Monitor oil temperature and reduce heat if it's too high.
- Fry each donut hole for about 3-5 minutes until dark golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- Remove donut holes with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels. Allow them to cool slightly before rolling in cinnamon sugar or glazing.
Notes
Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent for the best frying results.
For added flavor, consider experimenting with different toppings such as glaze or powdered sugar.
Allow the donut holes to cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.
