Little bite-sized doughnut holes, fried until golden and rolled in cinnamon sugar while still warm. They come together quickly from store-cupboard basics and disappear just as fast, so they are great for sharing. A fun thing to make on a lazy weekend with the kids.

Preparation
- Sift the dry ingredients together.
- Mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl, then stir them into the dry until you have a smooth batter.
- Drop teaspoonfuls of batter (no bigger) into hot oil at 365°F (no hotter), turning after a few moments until golden brown all over.
- Lift out and drain.
- Roll in cinnamon sugar while still warm, then serve.
Tips from the ZestyPlate Kitchen
- Hold the oil at a steady heat so the insides cook through before the outsides catch.
- Drop in small teaspoonfuls of batter, giving the centres time to cook before the surface browns.
- Roll them around in the oil as they fry so they colour evenly all over.
- Toss them in cinnamon sugar while still warm and it will cling beautifully.
Frequently Asked Questions
They are bite-sized doughnut holes, named after the Canadian coffee chain that made them famous. This homemade batch is every bit as moreish.
The oil was probably too hot, so the outside browned before the centre had a chance. Keep it around 180C and the spoonfuls small.
Yes. Roll them in plain sugar, dip them in chocolate, or stir a pinch of spice through the batter for a change.
