Vermont Doughnut Holes- Big Green House #doughnuts #donuts #doughnutholes #fried

Vermont Doughnut Holes are the easiest fried doughnut you will ever make! Just mix the dough and fry them up. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Plus, they go perfectly with a cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar coating. YUM overload!

I love to make homemade doughnuts. Most of the time I make baked doughnuts. Although, once in a while, I will dive into frying them.

If you haven’t fried doughnuts yet, don’t be intimidated! They are pretty easy. The key is to make sure your oil is just the right temperature and to keep a close eye on them while they are frying.

Ingredients Needed:

Flour + Baking powder + Salt
Sugar
Egg
Milk
Butter
Canola oil
Cinnamon sugar or Powdered sugar ( for topping)

Supplies Needed: Two mixing bowls, whisk , and an electric mixer (see note below) or a wooden spoon to stir the batter. You will also need a deep skillet and kitchen tongs for frying. Lastly, be sure you have a large platter/baking sheet for the doughnuts once they are removed from the oil. Line that with either paper towels or paper napkins for draining of oil from the doughnut holes.

A few recipe notes:

Mixing Your Dough: Don’t over mix it! Mix the dough just until everything is combined. Also, I used my Kitchen Aid with the paddle attachment and it worked perfectly!

Frying: Be sure to keep track of your oil temperature. You do not want it too hot. Start frying once the oil temp is between 340-359 degrees. If you don’t have a thermometer, stick the handle of a wooden spoon into the oil. If it’s ready, the oil will bubble around the handle.

Coating: After you are done frying, you can either eat them plain (let them cool!) or coat with powdered sugar or a simple cinnamon sugar mixture. If you use powdered sugar, wait until the doughnuts cool before coating. If you opt for the cinnamon sugar mixture, let the doughnuts cool for a few minutes, but, be sure to coat while they are a bit on the warmer side.

Dipping: If you like, serve these with a cup of maple syrup for dipping. They are crazy delicious together.

Oohh! I came for "doughnut holes", but reading this, it reminds me of funnel cake, and I am a big fan. Frying things intimidate me, but this looks really simple to put together. Pinned.
