These homemade yeast donuts are soft, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. Perfect for a sweet treat any time of day, they are easy to make and even more fun to eat.
Ingredients:
- 200ml (0.82 cup) warm milk
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 7g yeast
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 400g (3.2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 40g (0.18 cup) butter, softened
- Oil (for frying)
- Additional sugar (for sprinkling)
Method:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Add the salt, egg, and softened butter to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
- Form the Donuts:
- After the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball.
- Roll out each ball slightly and use your fingers or a small cutter to create a hole in the center, forming a donut shape.
- Place the shaped donuts on a baking sheet and cover them with a cloth. Let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Fry the Donuts:
- Heat a large amount of oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 175°C (350°F).
- Carefully add the donuts to the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry each donut for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Finish and Serve:
- While the donuts are still warm, sprinkle them generously with sugar.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Serving Suggestions:
- Enjoy the donuts as they are or with a cup of coffee or tea.
- You can also dip them in melted chocolate or glaze for an extra sweet treat.
