Description

Chocolate glazed donut holes are small, round donuts that are coated with a layer of chocolate glaze. They are delicious and perfect for breakfast, snacks, or even dessert. These donut holes are made with a simple donut dough that is lightly sweetened and fried until golden and crispy. Once the donut holes are cooled, they are dipped in a rich chocolate glaze and sprinkled with your favorite toppings. These donut holes make a great treat for any occasion!

Ingredients

For the donut holes:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 2 teaspoons baking powder

- 1 teaspoon salt

- ½ cup granulated sugar

- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

- ¾ cup milk

-1 egg

- Vegetable oil for frying

For the chocolate glaze:

- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

- 2 tablespoons heavy cream

- 1 tablespoon butter

- Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Set aside.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg and oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for a few minutes, then roll it out to about ¼ inch thick.

4. Using a biscuit cutter or a small glass, cut the dough into circles. Place the donut holes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

5. Heat a few inches of vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully add the donut holes, a few at a time, and fry for about 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the donut holes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

6. To make the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the chocolate chips, cream, and butter together. Stir until smooth. Dip the cooled donut holes into the glaze. Place the glazed donut holes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and top with sprinkles, if desired.

7. Enjoy!

Notes

If you don’t have a biscuit cutter or a small glass, you can use a pastry tip to cut out the donut holes. Just press the tip into the dough and twist to cut out the dough circles.

You can use any type of chocolate for the glaze. Dark, milk, or white chocolate will all work.

For a vegan version of this recipe, you can substitute the milk and egg with a dairy-free milk and flax egg.
