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)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll warm doughnut holes in the mixture to coat.
Serve immediately.

Tips

Ensure oil temperature stays at 350°F for even cooking.
These are best eaten fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
