Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup buttermilk

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)

For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2-3 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.

Heat the Oil:

Pour oil into a deep frying pan or pot to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.

Fry the Donut Holes:

Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, carefully drop small balls of dough into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Fry the donut holes for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the donut holes with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Prepare the Glaze:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary.

Glaze the Donut Holes:

Once the donut holes have cooled slightly, dip them into the glaze, ensuring they are fully coated. Place them on a wire rack to allow the glaze to set.

Serve and Enjoy:

Serve the glazed mini donut holes warm or at room temperature. They are perfect for sharing at any gathering or simply enjoying with a cup of coffee or tea.
