Ingredients

Donut Holes:

Icing:

Instructions

  • Whisk all the dry ingredients, including the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and apple pie spice, together.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the softened unsalted butter, milk, eggs, and caramel extract.
  • Blend the liquid ingredients with the dry ingredients.
  • Let the dough rise for an hour or more, 'til doubled in size.
  • Roll the dough out onto a floured surface, and cut with donut/donut hole cutter. (TIP: If you don't have a donut hole cutter, cut the top off a plastic soda bottle and wash. Use the opening of the soda bottle to cut out donut holes, works like a charm!)
  • Place the donuts on a cookie sheet and let rise 'til doubled in size.
  • Meanwhile, mix up the icing, blending all the ingredients together.
  • Fry the donuts and donut holes in a deep fryer set to 350° F, 'til each donut hole is cooked thru and golden. You can also fry them in a skillet in a couple inches of canola oil.
  • Let the donuts and donut holes drain on paper bags.
  • While still warm, dip each one in the icing.
  • Set on a rack over wax paper to drip and cool.
  • Once they've cooled enough to eat, they're ready for you to enjoy!
