Time 45m

Yield Makes 28 to 30

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for work surface
1 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 cup sugar, plus more for coating
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
28 to 30 store-bought soft caramel squares, unwrapped
5 to 6 cups vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together sugar, buttermilk, butter, and eggs until thoroughly combined. Stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture just until a smooth dough forms.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, pat dough flat and lightly flour. Roll out dough to a 1/3-inch thickness. Cut into rounds with a 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter (to lift rounds from work surface, use a thin spatula). Reroll and cut scraps.
  • Place a caramel in the center of each round, pinch dough closed around it, and gently roll into a smooth ball.
  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Fill a wide shallow bowl with 1 inch sugar. In a large heavy pot, heat 4 inches oil until it registers 350 degrees on a candy thermometer. In batches of 4, fry doughnuts 5 minutes, turning once with a slotted spoon and adjusting heat as needed. Transfer doughnuts to prepared sheet; let rest 4 minutes. Roll in sugar to coat. Serve immediately.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my doughnut holes came out flat and didn't have much flavor.

These doughnut holes were easy to make, but they didn't rise very much. They were still tasty, but not as fluffy as I would have liked.
