Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cups Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- (for frying) Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Sprinkles
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 cups of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2.25 teaspoons of instant yeast.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm 1 cup of whole milk and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter until melted. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Add the warm milk mixture to the flour mixture along with 1 large beaten egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Cut out donuts using a donut cutter and reroll scraps as needed. Transfer the cut donuts to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the donuts and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes, until puffed up.
In a heavy pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the donuts in batches until golden brown, about 1 minute per side.
Drain fried donuts on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet.
To prepare the glaze, whisk together 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 0.25 cups of whole milk until smooth.
Dip each donut top into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off. Immediately top with sprinkles.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving the donuts.
