Step 1

In a big bowl, mix up the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and a touch of nutmeg.

Step 2

In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, milk, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Now, slowly stir the wet ingredients into the dry ones until they're just friends, not too mixed up.

Step 4

Use a small scoop or a tablespoon to portion out the batter into little balls.

Step 5

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large deep skillet to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Carefully drop the dough balls into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Use a slotted spoon to remove the donut holes and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 8

While your donut holes are cooling off a bit, whip up your cinnamon sugar coating. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a dish, and melt the butter in a separate bowl.

Step 9

Dip each cooled donut hole in the melted butter, making sure it's coated all over. Then give them a roll in the cinnamon sugar.

Step 10

Place the sugared donut holes on a wire rack to set. Repeat until all your donut holes are looking and smelling amazing.

Step 11

Serve them up while they're warm and watch them disappear!
