Ingredients
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup plus ⅔ cup Nutella, divided
  • 2 cups self-rising flour, plus more for dusting work surface
  • 2 quarts vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and ⅔ cup Nutella until smooth.
  2. Stir in the flour, mixing just until combined.
  3. Gather up the dough and wrap it in plastic.
  4. Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
  5. Dust a work surface with flour.
  6. Gently knead the dough and shape it into a disk.
  7. Roll the dough out to a ½-inch thickness.
  8. Use a donut cutter or other round cutters to cut out 8 (3-inch) donuts from the dough, re-rolling scraps as needed.
  9. Heat the oil to 350 F in a large, heavy pot.
  10. While the oil is heating, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and fit a rack over top.
  11. Fry the donuts a few at a time for about 2 minutes per side, making sure the oil stays at a consistent temperature.
  12. Transfer the fried donuts to the rack.
  13. Repeat with the remaining donuts and donut holes.
  14. Place the remaining Nutella in a shallow microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds.
  15. Stir the Nutella and continue to heat at 10-second intervals until it has a glaze consistency. Be careful not to overheat and scorch it.
  16. Dip the tops of the donuts and donut holes in the warm Nutella.
  17. Serve the Nutella donuts immediately or return to the rack and allow the Nutella to set.
