Ingredients
3
to 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1
cup sugar
1 1/2
teaspoons baking powder
1/4
teaspoon baking soda
1/2
teaspoon salt
2
eggs
1/2
cup milk
1/4
cup butter, melted
3
cups vegetable oil, for frying
Preparation
In small bowl, mix 1 1/4 cups of the flour, 3/4 cup of the sugar, the baking powder, baking soda and salt until well mixed. Set aside.
In large bowl, beat eggs, milk and melted butter with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add flour-sugar mixture; beat on medium speed 1 minute, scraping bowl occasionally or until smooth. Gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups of the remaining flour (dough will be slightly soft and sticky).
Heat oil in heavy 3-quart saucepan or deep fryer to 375°F.
Meanwhile, sprinkle work surface with 1 tablespoon flour. Gently roll dough in flour until well coated and dough is soft. Add 1 tablespoon flour at a time, if needed, to desired dough consistency. With floured rolling pin, roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Using 1 1/4-inch round cookie cutter dipped in flour, cut doughnut holes; reroll scraps. Keep dough covered with plastic wrap while frying.
Carefully, drop 4 to 5 doughnut holes at a time into hot oil. Fry doughnut holes, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes or until deep golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Immediately roll each doughnut hole in remaining 1/4 cup sugar.
