How to Make Donut Holes with Yeast

Everyone loves donut holes. Especially homemade ones! And there is, after all, nothing better than some old-fashioned yeast donut holes, enjoyed while they're still warm!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 6 Tbsp water
  • 1 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • oil for frying


Steps

  1. Mix 4 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 tsp salt in a bowl.

  3. Pour into that "well" 3/4 cup buttermilk, 1 beaten egg, 1/4 cup melted butter, and the yeast mixture.
  4. the mixture until dough forms.
  5. the dough for about 10 minutes. To do this, fold the dough away from you, turn it 90°, and repeat.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a towel. Put it in a warm place and let the dough rise until it has doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  7. After the dough has risen, knead it just a few more times, then separate into two pieces. Put one piece back into the bowl and cover it.
  8. Take the other piece of dough and divide it into four parts, then each one into two parts. Make a ball from each piece. Arrange them on a parchment-paper lined cookie sheet.
  11. In a deep pan or regular pot, heat some oil to 350°F. Drop the set dough into the hot oil. Flip to the other side when golden-brown.
  12. You can dip in sugar or glaze if desired!
