Notes
- Storage: Store any leftover donut holes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Let them cool completely before storing.
- Reheating: For the best texture, reheat donut holes in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes or until warm.
- Filling Variations: Try using raspberry, blueberry, or cherry jam for a different fruit-flavored filling.
- Baked Donut Holes: If you prefer baked over fried donut holes, bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden.
