Instructions

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
Pour in the heavy whipping cream and milk, stirring until a gooey dough forms.
Using a cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough straight into hot oil or chill on a baking sheet while waiting for the oil.
Heat the vegetable oil to 350°F in a 3-quart saucepan. Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Fry 3-4 donut holes at a time, monitoring oil temperature and flipping them halfway through cooking until dark golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Allow to cool slightly before adding toppings.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider rolling the cooled donut holes in cinnamon sugar or dipping in glaze.
Ensure oil temperature is consistent to avoid greasy donut holes.
Experiment with different toppings to customize your treat.
