Contents
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup of milk
- ¼ teaspoon of dry and active yeast
- 8 Tablespoons/one stick of melted and cooled butter
- ¼ cup of granulated sugar
- ¼ cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 Quarts of neutral oil
- 2 Cups of powdered sugar
Instructions:
- Prepare the baking tools and ingredients you need for this sweet dessert.
- Heat milk to 90 degrees until warm.
- In a large bowl, mix the milk with yeast, stir gently, and set aside for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Using a stand mixer with a dough hook or an electric mixer, beat the eggs, butter, salt, and sugar into the mixture.
- Pour half of the flour (2 cups + 2 tablespoons) and mix until combined, then add the remaining flour and mix until the dough stretches away from the corners of the bowl.
- Grease a large bowl with oil, transfer the dough to the bowl, and cover it. Let it rise at room temperature for 1 hour until it doubles in size.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll until ½ inch thick. Optionally slice out the doughnut middle with a doughnut cutter, a concentric cookie cutter, or a drinking/shot glass 3 inches in diameter while flouring the cutters as you progress. Let rest for a few minutes before repeating.
- Place doughnuts on 2 floured baking sheets for spacing, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm environment or heat the oven to about 200 degrees F (93 degrees C), turn off the heat, put the baking sheets in the oven, and leave the oven door ajar.
- When the doughnuts have 15 minutes left, put oil in a Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pot and heat it to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Line the cooling sheets, racks, or plates with paper towels.
- Add the doughnuts carefully into the pot (one at a time). When the bottoms are golden-brown, use a slotted spoon to flip them. Continue cooking until they are golden brown everywhere.
- Transfer the doughnuts to the plates or racks and repeat with the remaining dough.
- Serve and enjoy with either your friends, family, or by yourself.
