Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is lukewarm (about 110°F).
Add the warm milk mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients, and mix until a soft, sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a donut cutter to cut out the donuts and the donut holes.
Transfer the cut donuts and holes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F.
Carefully fry the donuts, 2-3 at a time, for about 1 minute on each side or until golden brown. Remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Dip the warm donuts into the glaze and set them on a wire rack to let the excess drip off.
Serve warm and enjoy your 'Donuts Simply Ez Great'!
