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

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.

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

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

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

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).

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.

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

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

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

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.

And enjoy!
