In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated erythritol, and salt.
Heat the milk over low heat until warm (about 110°F/43°C). Do not overheat.
Add the warm milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until combined.
Add the egg and beat the mixture until smooth.
Gradually add the remaining 1.5 cups of flour until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
Roll the risen dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Cut the doughnut shapes using a 3-inch doughnut cutter or two differently-sized round cutters.
Place the cut doughnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover, and let them rise for about 30 minutes.
Heat the cooking oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully fry each doughnut for about 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the doughnuts from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel-lined tray.
To prepare the glaze, mix the powdered erythritol and water in a small bowl until smooth.
Dip the warm doughnuts into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off, and place on a wire rack to set before serving.
