Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Equipment

  • Frying pan
  • Slotted spoon

Method

  1. Warm the milk in a small pot or in the microwave until it's lukewarm.
  2. Add the sugar and yeast to the warm milk and stir gently. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is activated.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract.
  4. Add the flour and salt to the mixing bowl and stir until just combined.
  5. Pour the yeast mixture into the mixing bowl and stir until a sticky dough forms.
  6. Add the melted butter to the mixing bowl and stir until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  7. Cover the mixing bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
  8. On a floured surface, roll out the dough until it's about 1/2 inch thick.
  9. Using a circular cutter or a glass, cut out donut shapes from the dough.
  10. In a frying pan, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil until it's hot but not smoking.
  11. Carefully add the donuts to the frying pan using a slotted spoon.
  12. Fry the donuts for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they're golden brown.
  13. Using a slotted spoon, remove the donuts from the frying pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  14. In a shallow dish, mix together the sugar and cinnamon (if using) for coating.
  15. While the donuts are still warm, coat them in the sugar mixture and serve.

Notes

  • Make sure to let the yeast activate properly before adding it to the mixing bowl.
  • Don't overmix the dough or it will become tough.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the donuts, or they will become greasy.
  • You can also add different flavorings to the dough, such as lemon zest or nutmeg.

Recipes FAQ

Can I use other types of flour?

  • Use a slotted spoon to flip the donuts in the frying pan.
  • Let the donuts cool slightly before coating them in sugar to avoid melting the sugar.
