Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until combined.
Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
Drop teaspoon-sized balls of dough into the hot oil, frying in batches without crowding.
Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
Dip each doughnut hole halfway into the chocolate, letting excess drip off.
Place on a parchment-lined tray and let set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.
Tips
For best results, use a thermometer to maintain oil temperature.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 1 hour before frying.
