✅ Ingredients
For the Donut Dough:
- 2 1/4 tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (around 43°C)
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the Glaze:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Colorful sprinkles for topping
👩🍳 Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, butter, egg, and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture.
- Gradually add flour and knead until smooth and elastic (about 5–7 minutes). Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
- Roll out dough to 1 cm thickness and cut into donut shapes. Let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Heat oil to 180°C. Fry donuts for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Whisk together glaze ingredients. Dip cooled donuts into glaze and immediately decorate with sprinkles.
💡 Tips & Benefits
- Using warm milk and butter helps activate the yeast for a better rise.
- You can bake instead of frying at 180°C for 8–10 minutes if you prefer a lighter version.
