Doughnut Holes

1 cup coconut milk
1 large egg
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 cups bread flour
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Using a deep fryer, pour oil for about an inch deep and heat to 350°F while you’re preparing the doughnut batter.

Whisk together the dry ingredients.  In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour the milk/egg into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring briefly; then add the melted butter, stirring to make a thick batter/soft dough.

When the oil has come up to temperature, use a cookie scoop to drop balls of batter into the hot oil.

Fry the doughnut holes for 2 minutes on each side or till they’re deep brown.  Transfer the doughnut holes to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain and cool.
