Equipment

• Large stock pot or heavy bottom pot
• Piping bag or large ziplock bag
• Paper towels for draining

Ingredients

  

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 tbsp melted butter

Topping option 1

• 3-5 cups powdered sugar
• 2-3 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp per cup of sugar

Topping option 2

• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 1-2 tbsp cinnamon

Instructions

 

• Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg to a bowl and set aside.
• In a separate bowl mix buttermilk, egg, sugar, vanilla and butter.
• Slowly pour in the dry ingredients and mix until incorporated.
• Add batter to a piping bag
• Pipe dough balls into heated oil on medium high.
• Remove once cooked and let dry on paper towels for 2-3 mins in a single layer
• Toss in cinnamon sugar or cinnamon powdered sugar

Notes

When frying do tiny drops of batter into the oil (the batter will expand in the oil).

This will yield a very large amount of small donut holes. It’s best to let them dry in a single layer to help avoid an oily after taste in the ones on the bottom.

Let them dry completely before tossing in cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar
