Instructions:

Step 1:

Once your milk is at 110F, add the instant dry yeast. Mix, cover, and set it aside for about 5 minutes.

Step 2:

In a bowl of a stand mixer, add the milk with dry yeast, melted butter, sugar, a pinch of salt, and eggs. Mix on medium-speed setting.

Step 3:

Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients while mixing. Make sure to stop in between, and scrape the edges to make sure everything is mixed. It should form into a dough. Place it in a bowl and cover with cling wrap. Set it aside and let it rise for about an hour.

Step 4:

Sprinkle some flour over your working surface and place the dough. Knead it for a little bit and form it into a ball.

Step 5:

Roll it flat with a rolling pin. Make sure not to make it too thin. Once it’s ready, cut rings using a donut cutter. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover the tray and let it rise for about 45 minutes.

Step 6:

Place a deep pan or Dutch oven over your stovetop, and fill it with a generous amount of oil. Once the oil is at 375 degrees F, add the rings and cook until both sides are golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack with a baking tray at the bottom to catch excess oil.

Step 7:

Make the glazing by mixing all ingredients in a bowl.

Step 8:

Glaze the doughnuts with the glazing. Let them set, then it’s ready to serve. Enjoy!
