Baby Cake Donut Hole

Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Oil, for frying
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough donuts.

4. Heat oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (180°C). Use a candy or deep-fry thermometer to ensure the oil stays at the correct temperature throughout frying.

5. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, carefully drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in greasy donuts.

6. Fry the Baby Cake Donut Holes for about 2-3 minutes, turning them occasionally with a slotted spoon to ensure even cooking. They should turn golden brown and puff up slightly when done.

7. Once cooked, remove the donut holes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

8. Allow the Baby Cake Donut Holes to cool slightly before rolling them in powdered sugar. You can either shake them in a bag with powdered sugar or dust them with a sifter for a more delicate finish.

9. Serve the Baby Cake Donut Holes warm for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy them with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat any time of the day.
