Donut Snowballs
INGREDIENTS
1 large egg
1 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 packet hot chocolate
¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted
1½ cups powdered sugar
Vegetable oil for frying
Servings: 6 - 8
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and hot chocolate mix.
Stir the milk/egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Then stir in the melted butter, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil about 1 inch deep in a heavy skillet. When oil has reached frying temp (about 350°F), carefully drop balls of dough into the oil (using spring scoop or two spoons), and fry for about 3–4 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow to cool about 2 minutes, and toss in powdered sugar. Enjoy
