For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the milk mixture. Ensure your yeast is fresh for optimal rising. If you're unsure, proof the yeast by mixing it with warm water and a teaspoon of sugar; it should foam within 5-10 minutes. Maintain a consistent oil temperature while frying to ensure even cooking and prevent greasy doughnuts. Experiment with different toppings such as chocolate glaze, sprinkles, or a simple sugar glaze.

01 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups of flour with the active dry yeast. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk, sugar, butter, and salt until the butter is melted. Ensure the mixture is warm, not hot, to avoid damaging the yeast. (7 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Add the warm milk mixture and eggs to the flour mixture. Using a heavy-duty electric mixer, beat on low speed until just combined (about 30 seconds). Increase the speed to high and beat for 3 minutes until the dough is smooth.
04 Step
Recipe View Gradually add the remaining flour, stirring with a spoon until a firm, pliable dough forms. (5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 4 to 5 minutes. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.
06 Step
Recipe View Turn the risen dough out onto a floured surface. Punch down the dough to release the air, then roll it out to 1/2-inch thickness. Use a floured doughnut cutter to cut out doughnuts. Re-roll any trimmings and cut out additional doughnuts. (10 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Place the cut doughnuts onto baking sheets, cover, and let them rise for an additional 45 minutes. This second rise is crucial for achieving a light and airy texture.
08 Step
Recipe View Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature. (15 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View Carefully fry the doughnuts in batches, turning them several times, until golden brown all over. This should take about 2-3 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried doughnuts to a wire rack to drain and cool completely. (10 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View Once the doughnuts are cooled, dredge them generously in confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately and enjoy! (5 minutes)

Mar 8, 2025The second rise is key! Don't skip it. My first batch was a little dense, but the second rise made all the difference.

Dec 27, 2023I added a hint of nutmeg to the dough, and it gave them a wonderful warmth. Definitely my new go-to doughnut recipe!
