Ingredients

  • I cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 1/2 oz baker's chocolate, unsweetened
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk https://www.servedfromscratch.com/5-minute-homemade-buttermilk/
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg whisked

Glaze

  • 2 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Water if needed

Instructions

  • In a double boiler, melt butter and baker's chocolate. Remove from heat.
  • In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add buttermilk and vanilla to melted chocolate. Add whisked egg.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until combined. With your hands, mix until dough is all well combined and form into a ball. Wrap in plastic and cool in fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Once cooled, roll dough into 1 -2 tablespoon balls.
  • Heat a deep skillet or sauce pan with 3 inches of vegetable oil until oil reaches 350 degrees (candy thermometers or digital infrared thermometer). Add 4 - 5 balls into the oil and fry until cooked (they'll looked a little puffed), approximately 2-4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove from oil and place on paper towel lined plate. Finish with all balls.
  • Line baking sheet with parchment paper and rack.

Prepare the Glaze

  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk confectioner's sugar, milk and vanilla until the consistency of heavy cream. If needed, add a little water and mix to reach that consistency.
  • Dip each donut hole in the glaze. With a fork, remove and shake off excess glaze. Transfer donuts to rack until all donut holes are glazed. Let rest until glaze is set.
  • Enjoy!
  • Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
