Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. yeast
- 2 Tbsp. warm water
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 1 egg
- 3 Tbsp. butter softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- oil for frying 1 quart
SIMPLE GLAZE
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 3-4 Tbsp. warm water
Instructions
- Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water, and let stand for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix together the yeast mixture, milk, sugar, salt, egg, butter, and 1 cup of the flour. Mix for a few minutes at low speed, or stir with a wooden spoon. Add remaining flour and mix until the dough no longer sticks to the bowl.
- Knead until smooth and elastic. Place the dough into a greased bowl, and cover. Set in a warm place to rise until double (1 hour).
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and use a rolling pin to gently roll out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a donut or biscuit cutter. Let doughnuts sit out to rise again until double. Cover loosely with a cloth or piece of plastic wrap.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large heavy skillet to 350 degrees. Place a few donuts into the hot oil.Turn doughnuts over as they rise to the surface. Fry doughnuts on each side until golden brown. Remove from hot oil, to drain on a cooling rack with paper towels underneath to catch excess oil.
- Mix glaze ingredients and dip donuts into the glaze while warm, and set back on the wire racks to drain off excess.
