Ingredients

  • FOR THE TOPPING:
  • 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • FOR THE DOUGH:
  • 1-3/4 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/8 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Melted Not Hot
  • 1 whole Large Egg
  • 1/3 cups Heavy Cream
  • Enough Vegetable Oil For Frying

Method

  • For the cinnamon sugar topping:
  • Mix the cinnamon and the sugar in a shallow bowl, set aside.
  • For the donuts:
  • In a medium bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk sugar and butter together, then add the egg and heavy cream and mix until smooth. Gently fold in the dry ingredients with a spatula to form soft dough. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 3 hours.
  • In a large heavy skillet add an inch of oil and using a candy thermometer heat oil to 325 degrees F.
  • While oil is heating, take a teaspoon and measure one spoonful of dough, making a round dough hole ball. Prepare all the donuts holes prior to frying.
  • In small batches, drop donuts holes into the hot oil, fry until golden brown on one side for 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and fry the remaining side for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Place the fried donut holes on a brown paper bag or several layers of paper towels, to allow excess oil to drain. Finish frying the remaining donut holes.
  • Roll the fried donut holes within the cinnamon sugar mixture, covering completely. Serve immediately, they taste the best warm!
