In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Then add in the milk-egg mixture into those dry ingredients, then finally stirring in the melted butter

Mix until you get a soft dough.

Keep in mind that this dough will expand when it is fried, so just 1 tablespoon of the batter will yield about a 2-inch doughnut hole. If you would a SMALLER doughnut hole, drop only about 1 teaspoon of batter into the oil. You should get about 24 larger doughnut holes or 48 small ones

In a Large pot or deep fryer add the oil, using a deep-fry thermometer is extremely helpful and recommended because you want the oil to be 350ºF. Carefully place dough balls into the hot oil; cook until light golden brown.

Using wire skimmer or metal slotted spoon, transfer holes to wire rack lined with a paper towel OR into a paper bag if you want to just shake them one by one until coated with the mixture. Lightly brush each one with melted butter before coating!

Serve room temp

ENJOY!
