# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Dough
01 -
190 g self-rising flour
02 -
180 ml cinnamon applesauce
→ Frying
03 -
Canola oil, for deep frying
→ Coating
04 -
Cinnamon sugar, for rolling
# How to Make It:
01 -
In a medium mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour and cinnamon applesauce. Stir gently until a cohesive dough forms, taking care not to overmix.
02 -
Pour canola oil into a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of at least 5 cm. Heat oil to 175°C, using a thermometer for accuracy.
03 -
Scoop 1-tablespoon portions of dough and gently lower them into the hot oil, working in batches of 3–4. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side, turning once, until golden brown and fully puffed.
04 -
Remove fried donut holes with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Allow to cool for 1–2 minutes.
05 -
While still warm, roll each donut hole in cinnamon sugar until thoroughly coated.
06 -
Enjoy donut holes warm for optimal flavor and texture.
# Extra Information:
01 -
Ensure oil reaches and maintains 175°C for consistent frying and a crisp, golden exterior.
02 -
Self-rising flour provides necessary leavening; plain flour will not yield the same result without added baking powder and salt.
