Homemade Glazed Donuts Recipe
Ingredients:
Dough:
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed (about 110°F)
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Oil for frying
Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Add the yeast mixture to the egg mixture and mix well.
- Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Shape the Donuts:
- Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Use a donut cutter or two round cutters (one large and one small) to cut out donut shapes.
- Place the cut donuts and donut holes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Fry the Donuts:
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully fry the donuts a few at a time, for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain.
- Prepare the Glaze:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Dip each warm donut into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off.
- Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack to set.
- Serve:
- Enjoy the donuts warm or at room temperature.
Enjoy your homemade glazed donuts as a delightful treat any time of the day!
