Cinnamon doughnut holes

1 cup complete buttermilk pancake mix
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

Heat oil before making batter, fry at once. combine pancake mix, sugar, vanilla and milk, stirring until blended. Drop rounded half-teaspoons into hot fat, 375 degrees, frying 4-6 balls at a time. Fry until brown and drain on paper towels. Roll warm doughnut balls in mixture of sugar and cinnamon. For large amounts, mix and fry consecutive batches. Do not double the recipe; the longer the batter stands, the more leavening power it loses.

Yield: 24-30
