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 seedless raspberry or strawberry jelly
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, 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).
Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches without crowding. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Let cool slightly.
Transfer jelly to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Insert the tip into each doughnut hole and squeeze a small amount of jelly inside.
Dust generously with confectioners' sugar and serve warm.
Tips
For a change, use different jelly flavors like apricot or grape.
Doughnut holes are best eaten the same day.
If you don't have a piping bag, use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
