Easy Homemade Ghanaian Bofrot Doughnut Holes

Ingredients

1 cup whole milk

1 large cage free egg

2 cups bread flour

2 tablespoons white sugar

2 tablespoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
5 cups vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Add the vegetable oil to a large, heavy-bottomed pot. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir the milk-egg mixture into the dry ingredients, then stir in the melted butter, mixing until a soft dough forms. Once the oil is hot, drop about 1 tablespoon of dough into the oil, careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the doughnut holes, flipping them in the oil, for about 2 minutes or until they are golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the doughnut holes to the paper towel-lined baking sheet.
