Maple-Glazed Sour Cream Doughnut Holes

My first time making doughnuts and they couldn't have turned out any better! So delicious! I made these for our Christmas Eve party and they were a big hit. Served with Peppermint Stick Cocoa.

The dough was way too sticky for any kind of handling after adding the full 1 1/2 cups flour. I ended up adding another 1/2 cup flour (this may have been too much). I will try adding less next time. I felt the cooked, glazed doughnut were a little bland. The dough needs more salt. I added maple extract to the glaze for added maple flavor. The frying temperature was perfect, nice crisp doughnuts with very little grease. My doughnuts only took about 1 min. to cook. I will try this recipe one more time with more salt in the dough to see if this helps the flavor of the dough.

We LOVED these donut holes. Yes, the dough was very sticky but from my experience, that's what makes a light donut. The dough just needs to be dusted lightly with flour to roll out. I added a little vanilla to the glaze. Yum, yum!

Make sure and let your guests know that these are made with peanut oil. Could be a not-fun breakfast. Grapeseed oil is also a good high-temp oil.
