Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp dry yeast
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Equipment

  • Slotted spoon
  • Paper towels

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?

Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, almond flour, or gluten-free flour if you prefer. Just keep in mind that the texture and taste may be slightly different.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the dough the night before and let it rise in the fridge overnight. Just make sure to let it come to room temperature before rolling it out and frying the donuts.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to measure the ingredients accurately for the best results.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more milk.
  • Don't overcrowd the frying pan or the temperature will drop and the donuts won't cook evenly.
  • 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.
