Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups Gold Medal™ All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/16 teaspoon salt (just a pinch)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
  • 4 cups vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup orange juice (no pulp)

Directions

  •  
    1
    In a mixer, add the sugar, egg, milk and vanilla extract. Mix on medium for 5 minutes to fully dissolve sugar into mixture.
  •  
    2
    Combine flour, salt, baking powder and cardamom in a medium bowl.
  •  
    3
    Slowly add in flour mixture and mix on medium low speed till combined. Remove bowl from mixer and place donut dough in the fridge for 20 minutes to chill slightly.
  •  
    4
    In a small saucepan over medium low heat with a thermometer attached to the side, add the vegetable oil. Allow oil to reach 365°F.
  •  
    5
    Take 1 teaspoon of dough and drop it into the hot oil. Cook on each side for 3 to 4 minutes or until perfectly golden crisp on the outside. You can fry up to 3 donut holes at a time.
  •  
    6
    Remove donut holes from the oil and place on a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Continue the process until all the dough is gone.
  •  
    7
    In a small bowl, add the powdered sugar and orange juice. Whisk together until it is smooth and there are no sugar lumps.
  •  
    8
    Then pour over donut holes and allow orange glaze to set for an hour.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Keep the temperature of the oil at a steady 365°F; if it goes any higher, the donuts brown on the outside too quickly and the inside stays raw.
  • tip 2
    Use a teaspoon ice cream scooper with a metal swiper inside for perfectly shaped round balls of dough.
