Ingredients:

5 cups vegetable oil, for frying

2 tablespoons sugar

4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup milk

1 large egg

2 cups all ¬purpose flour / plain flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted

2¬3 tablespoons butter, melted

1/4 cup granulated sugar / caster sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg.

2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

3. Then add in the milk / ¬egg mixture into those dry ingredients, then finally stirring in the melted butter

4. Mix until you get a soft dough. Keep in mind that this dough will expand when it is fried, so

just 1 tablespoon of the batter will yield about a 2¬inch doughnut hole. If you would a smaller doughnut hole, drop only about 1 teaspoon of batter into the oil. You should get about 24 larger doughnut holes or 48 small ones

5. In a large pot or deep fryer add the oil, using a deep¬fry thermometer is extremely helpful and recommended because you want the oil to be 350ºF. Carefully place dough balls into the hot oil; cook until light golden brown.Using wire skimmer or metal slotted spoon, transfer holes to wire rack lined with a paper towel or into a paper bag if you want to just shake them one by one until coated with the mixture. Lightly brush each one with melted butter before coating!

Bon Appetit!
