Ingredients

Scale

2 cups All-purpose flour
1/2 cup Sugar
1/3 cup Cocoa powder
1 tbsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Vanilla extract
3/4 cup Milk
2 tbsp Melted butter
1 unit Large egg
1.5 cups Powdered sugar
3 tbsp Milk
1/2 tsp Vanilla
2–3 cups Vegetable or Canola oil

Instructions

Prepare your frying station by heating the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt
In a separate small bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined
Use a small cookie scoop or two spoons to drop rounded tablespoons of dough into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot
Fry the dough for about 2 to 3 minutes, turning occasionally until puffed and cooked through
Remove the donut holes with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels
While they cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to create the glaze
Dip each donut hole into the glaze and set them on a wire rack to allow excess glaze to drip off

Notes

For added flavor, consider using high-quality cocoa powder.

To store leftovers, keep them in an airtight container for up to two days, or freeze for up to a month.
