Pillowy fried donut holes rolled in cinnamon sugar while still warm. Dangerous knowledge: they take twenty minutes.

Ingredients

• 300 g Flour
• 120 g Sugar
• 180 ml Milk
• 60 g Unsalted Butter
• 3 tsp Baking powder
• 3 tsp Cinnamon
• 9600 ml Vegetable Oil

Method

1. Mix the Coating

   

   In a small bowl, stir together half the sugar and the cinnamon to make the cinnamon-sugar coating. Set aside for tossing the donut holes after frying.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

   

   Sift the flour, the remaining sugar, and the baking powder into a large bowl to ensure a light, airy crumb.

3. Make the Dough

   

   Whisk the milk and melted butter together, then stir into the dry ingredients until a soft, uniform dough forms.

4. Shape the Balls

   

   Portion into 1-tablespoon rounds and roll between your palms into smooth balls.

5. Heat the Oil

   

   Heat the vegetable oil to 175°C in a high-sided pot.

6. Fry

   

   Fry in batches of 5-6, turning gently, for 3 minutes until deep golden and puffed.

7. Toss in Cinnamon Sugar

   

   Drain on paper towels for 20 seconds, then immediately toss in the cinnamon sugar — the coating only sticks while they're hot.
