Description
Small, sweet donut holes coated in a simple maple glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the melted butter. Do not overmix.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Drop batter by rounded teaspoons into the hot oil. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove donut holes with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- While the donut holes cool slightly, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of milk until smooth for the glaze.
- Dip each warm donut hole into the glaze, coating completely. Place them back on a wire rack to set the glaze.
Notes
- For a thinner glaze, add a few more drops of milk.
- If you do not have a deep fryer, use a heavy-bottomed pot for frying.
