Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add heavy whipping cream and milk to the dry ingredients; stir with a spatula until the dough is cohesive and gooey.
Using a cookie scoop, form 1 tablespoon balls of dough and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or directly into hot oil.
Heat vegetable oil in a 3-quart saucepan to 350°F, using a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Fry 3-4 donut holes at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd them, for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
Remove the fried donut holes with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined sheet to drain. Let cool slightly before adding toppings.

Notes

Ensure the oil temperature stays at 350°F for even frying.
Let the donut holes cool a bit before rolling them in the sugar topping to avoid melting.
Experiment with different toppings like glaze or powdered sugar.
