How To Make Donuts

Ingredients:

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk until it reaches a temperature of 110°F (43°C). Remove from heat.
  3. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the warm milk. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
  5. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  7. Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
  8. Using a donut cutter or a round cookie cutter, cut out donut shapes. Place the cut-out donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a kitchen towel and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
  9. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to a temperature of 375°F (190°C).
  10. Carefully lower a few donuts into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, turning them once during cooking. This process usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
  11. Remove the fried donuts from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs and transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
  12. Repeat the frying process with the remaining donuts.
  13. Once the donuts have cooled slightly, you can glaze them by dipping them in a bowl of glaze made with powdered sugar and milk, or you can roll them in cinnamon sugar.
