In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Heat the Oil:
Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or pot, filling it to about 2 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Fry the Donut Holes:
Using a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon, carefully drop small balls of dough into the hot oil. Fry the donut holes in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donut holes from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:
In a shallow bowl, mix together the sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating.

While the donut holes are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until they are well coated.
Serve:
Serve the cinnamon sugar donut holes warm for the best flavor and texture. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.
Tips for Perfect Donut Holes:
Oil Temperature: Maintaining the correct oil temperature is crucial for achieving perfectly cooked donut holes. Too hot, and they will burn on the outside while remaining raw inside; too cool, and they will absorb too much oil.
Uniform Size: Using a cookie scoop or teaspoon helps ensure that the donut holes are uniform in size, which promotes even cooking.
Cinnamon Sugar Coating: Coating the donut holes while they are still warm helps the cinnamon sugar adhere better.
Serving Suggestions:
Breakfast Treat: Serve these donut holes as a sweet breakfast treat alongside your morning coffee or tea.
Dessert: Enjoy them as a dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzled with caramel sauce.
Party Snack: These donut holes make a great party snack or treat for gatherings and celebrations.
Cinnamon sugar donut holes are a delightful and easy-to-make treat that will bring joy to any occasion. Their perfect combination of crispy and fluffy textures, along with the sweet cinnamon sugar coating, makes them an irresistible indulgence.
