Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk
• vegetable oil for frying
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar, or more to taste
• 3 tablespoons whole milk
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 cup multicolored candy sprinkles
• 1.5 tablespoons baking powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Scoop a few tablespoons of dough into the hot oil using a small ice cream scoop. Fry donut holes until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer donut holes to the paper towels using a slotted spoon; let drain and cool slightly. Repeat with remaining dough.

Step 2

Whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl.

Step 3

Combine 1 cup milk, egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small bowl. Stir into the flour mixture. Add melted butter and 1/4 cup sprinkles; mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Heat at least 2 inches of oil in a large pot to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet or wire rack with paper towels.

Step 5

Place a wire rack on a baking sheet. Dip one donut hole at a time into the glaze and place on the wire rack; allow excess glaze to drip off before serving.

Step 6

Whisk confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup sprinkles, 3 tablespoons milk, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 pinch salt together in a bowl to make a smooth glaze.
