Doughnut Holes With Sugar Glaze And Whatever Toppings Make You Happy

• 5 quarts vegetable oil
• 2 packets active dry yeast
• 3 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
• 8 bamboo skewers
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
• Decorations of your choice (we like shredded coconut, multicolored sprinkles, and chopped peanuts)

1. Preheat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
2. Place 1 cup warm water in a bowl and sprinkle with yeast and granulated sugar. Allow mixture to bubble and then add egg, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, butter, and flour. Knead mixture until a smooth dough forms, about 7 minutes.
3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and place in a warm dry area. Let rise 30 minutes.
4. Punch down risen dough and roll out 1 inch thick on a floured surface. Using a small circle cutter, cut out holes and place them on a greased baking sheet. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise another 30 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, make the glaze: Combine milk and vanilla in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar until smooth. Set aside and let cool slightly.
6. Once oil reaches 365u0b0F, carefully drop in doughnut holes, a few at a time, and fry on each side 4 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
7. Dip each doughnut hole in glaze and roll in decoration of choice. Place on a cooling rack and let glaze set. Skewer each on a bamboo skewer and serve.
