Glazed Donuts
Ingredients
Donut Dough
- 2/3 cups Warm milk 105 to 110F
- 1 Packet Instant Yeast (about 2 1/4 tsp)
- 1/2 tsp Sugar
- 1/4 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 2 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 eggs at room temperature
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Oil for frying, vegetable oil
Glaze
- 6 tbsp Milk (90mL)
- 3 cups Powdered Sugar (360g)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
For the Dough
- In a small bowl or measuring glass, whisk together the warm milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Let sit until bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- In large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, and ¼ cup sugar until smooth. Stir in yeast mixture until combined. Stir in flour mixture until a shaggy dough forms. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until smooth and elastic (dough may be slightly tacky), for about 5 minutes. Place the dough in a large, lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, for about 1 hour.
- Place donuts and donut holes on your prepared parchment lined baking sheet, with just enough space so they are not touching. Cover with a towel or parchment paper and let donuts rise again at room temperature for 45 minutes until puffed.
- Fill a Dutch oven with 2-inches of oil. Heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350F.Working a few at a time, fry donuts in the hot oil until golden brown, about 1 minute per side, constantly stirring, for the donut holes. Transfer to the wire rack to drain.
Glaze
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Dip warm donuts and donut holes into the glaze and return to the write rack to set. ENJOY!
