servingsEveryone loves these doughnut holes. That’s not an exaggeration. They are so popular, I turned them into a “croquembouche” cake for my daughter’s birthday. Easy to make and they freeze well. Not that you’re likely to have any to freeze!
Ingredients
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
4 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
oil for deep frying
cinnamon and sugar for coating
Directions
- Beat eggs until thick and lemon-colored. Add sugar and beat until smooth. Thoroughly stir together dry ingredients. Add to the egg mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Heat oil to 375 degrees. Fry doughnuts by large spoonfuls in oil until golden brown and cooked through, turning once while cooking. Drain and cool. Roll in cinnamon-sugar and serve.
Notes
- The right temperature is critical. If it’s too hot, the outside will be dark brown before the inside is fully cooked. Too cool and they will be greasy and heavy instead of light and crisp.
