Donut Holes

What a way to wake up on a snowy, winter morning!
These bite-sized morsels are made using a cake donut recipe.
3 cups cake flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. each cinnamon and nutmeg
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
Peanut oil for frying
Combine all dry ingredients and add wet ingredients to flour mixture.  Cover dough and let chill for 1 hour.  Roll out to 1/2-inch thickness and use a shot glass to cut out little circles.  Roll circles gently in hand, forming more of a round ball.  Fry in peanut oil that has been heating up in saucepan (should be at least 4-inch deep)  6-8 balls at a time until they are light golden brown.  Drain on paper towels and shake in either cinnamon/sugar mixture or powdered sugar while still warm.
