Servings17 doughnut holes
For the glaze:
1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar

Ingredients Donut Holes
2/4 cup half and half
1-2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups neutral oil peanut or safflower are good options
Instructions Donut Holes
Add the oil to a large, heavy-bottomed pot. (There should be at least 2 inches of oil in the pot and at least 2 inches between the top of the oil and the top of the pot.) Heat over medium to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
In a glass mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of DivineKuizine Complete Pancake and Waffle Mix with Half and Half until a dough forms that can be rolled into balls and is no longer sticky. Note: ensure the holes are not too large; aim for about a tablespoon in size to ensure they cook thoroughly and are not raw inside.
To prepare the chocolate doughnut holes, combine 1 cup of DivineKuizine Complete Pancake and Waffle Mix with 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa to a glass mixing bowl. Gradually add Half and Half until a dough forms that can be rolled into balls and is no longer sticky. Note: Ensure the doughnut holes are about a tablespoon in size to ensure they cook thoroughly and aren't raw inside.
When the oil is hot, place the dough balls/holes into it and fry for 3 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure they brown evenly on all sides or until they puff up and become golden. Drain them on paper towels or line a baking sheet.
Carefully immerse each donut in the glaze, then place them on a wire rack to let any excess glaze drain off. If you like, add sprinkles as a garnish. To achieve different glaze colors, incorporate your preferred food coloring into the glaze.
Enjoy!
