Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Oil, for frying
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, warm the milk until it reaches about 110°F. Pour the warm milk into a mixing bowl and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add sugar, eggs, and melted butter to the yeast mixture and mix well. Gradually add in the flour and salt until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for about 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut out doughnuts using a doughnut cutter or a glass and a shot glass for the center hole.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F. Fry the doughnuts for about 1 minute on each side until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze. Dip each doughnut into the glaze and let set before serving.
Notes
- You can use a doughnut cutter or a glass and shot glass to create the perfect doughnut shape.
- Make sure the oil temperature is at 350°F for best frying results.
- For an extra touch, try adding a little cinnamon or other flavoring to the glaze.
