Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 cup milk

1 large egg

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Oil for frying

For the Maple Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

2 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

      Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

        Heat the Oil: In a deep pot or heavy skillet, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat to 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of dough into the oil—if it sizzles, it's good to go.

          Form Donut Holes: Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into small balls about 1 inch in diameter.

            Fry the Donut Holes: Carefully drop a few donut holes into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

              Make the Maple Glaze: In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and slightly runny.

                Glaze the Donut Holes: While the donut holes are still warm, dip each one into the maple glaze, turning to coat completely. Let any excess glaze drip off and place them on a wire rack to set.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Share these delightful donut holes warm, and watch them disappear!
