Classic Fried Doughnuts Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1/2 cup warm milk (110°F / 45°C)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, for extra flavor)
• Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Glaze (optional):

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2-3 tablespoons milk (adjust to desired consistency)

Instructions:

1. Activate the Yeast:
   • In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until the yeast becomes frothy.
2. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined, then knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook for this step.
