Ingredients

  1. 2.5 cupsflour
  2. 1/4 cupsugar
  3. 1/2 tspsalt
  4. 1egg
  5. 2/3 cupmilk
  6. 40 g(or 2.8 tbsp) melted butter
  7. 2.5 tspdry yeast
  8. 1/2 tspvanilla extract
  9. Glaze
  10. 3 cupspowdered sugar
  11. 1 cupdry milk powder
  12. 1 tbspvanilla extract
  13. 1/2 cuphot water

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix half the sugar, flour and salt in a bowl.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients (milk, egg, melted butter, dry yeast, vanilla and the rest of the sugar) and whisk to combine.

  3. 3

    Add the wet imgredients to the dry ingredients and mix until you have a dough (it should be a bit sticky).

  4. 4

    Place 1 tbsp of vegetable oil into a flat surface and transfer the dough. Knead it with a folding technique until it is consistent.

  5. 5

    Place the dough into a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place.

  6. 6

    Take the dough out and knead on a well floured surface until it becomes smooth and non sticky. Roll out the dough on a floured surface. It should be thick and not too thin (around 6mm thick).

  7. 7

    Tip for cutting the donut shape: use a wide mug to cut the donut shape and a small water bottle cap to create the hole in the middle (reserve the holes and fry them too for super cute mini donuts😋). Leave to rest for around 10 minutes before frying.

  8. 8

    Heat up vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the donuts for around 45 seconds on each side or until golden brown.

  9. 9

    To create the glaze, combine all the ingredients until smooth.

  10. 10

    Strain the glaze to remove any bumps. Dunk the donuts in it or drizzle it on top.

  11. 11

    I personally used nutella that i combined with a bit of milk to create a creamier texture on top of the donuts and drizzled vermicelli and coconut shreds on top. Be creative with toppings.

  12. 12

    And enjoy!
