Glazed Doughnuts

 

Ingredients:

For the dough:

- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)

- 3/4 cup warm milk (110°F / 43°C)

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1 large egg

- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for kneading)

- Vegetable oil, for frying

For the glaze:

- 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted

- 1/4 cup milk

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk and let sit

for 5–10 minutes until frothy.

2. In a large bowl, mix sugar, melted butter, salt, and egg.

Add in the yeast mixture and stir to combine.

3. Gradually add flour, mixing until a dough forms.

Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes

until smooth and elastic.

4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a

warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

5. Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a

doughnut cutter or two round cutters to cut out

doughnuts and holes.

6. Place on a floured tray, cover with a towel, and let rise

again for 30–45 minutes.

7. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry doughnuts

in batches for 1–2 minutes per side or until golden.

Remove and drain on paper towels.

8. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk,

and vanilla until smooth. Dip warm doughnuts in the

glaze, then place on a rack to set.

9. Serve fresh and enjoy the soft, pillowy goodness!
