🥣 Instructions

1. Activate Yeast
In a large bowl, stir warm milk and sugar together.
Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. Make the Dough
Add egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix well.
Gradually stir in flour and salt to form a soft dough.
Knead on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes, or mix with dough hook until smooth.
3. First Rise
Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover with a towel.
Let rise in a warm spot for 1–1.5 hours, until doubled in size.
4. Roll and Cut
Roll dough out to ½ inch thick.
Cut into doughnut shapes using a doughnut or cookie cutter.
Place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Second Rise
Cover and let rest for 30–45 minutes until puffy.
6. Fry
Heat oil to 375°F in a deep pan.
Fry doughnuts 1–2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels.
7. Add Toppings
While still warm, toss in sugar or dip into your favorite glaze.
