Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).

Tips

- Doughnut holes are best eaten the same day.
- You can substitute nutmeg with cinnamon in the batter if preferred.
