Description
Light and fluffy doughnuts, made with a yeast dough. I finally found a good doughnut recipe!
Ingredients
- ½ cup warm milk
- ½ beaten egg
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 8 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Place the milk and egg into the pan of your automatic bread machine
- and add the butter
- flour
- sugar
- salt
- and yeast in that order
- with the yeast on top. Select the dough setting
- and start the machine.
- When the dough cycle is finished
- remove the dough to a floured work surface
- and knead a few times to collapse all the bubbles. Cut the dough into 16 pieces
- cover them with a damp cloth
- and allow to rest for 20 minutes.
- Stretch each ball out into a disk about 1/4 inch thick
- and use a small cutter to cut a hole in the center (I used the top of a salt shaker; a bottle top works good too). Let the doughnuts rise on the floured surface until doubled
- 30 to 40 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Gently place a few doughnuts at a time into the hot oil
- and fry until they float to the top and turn golden brown
- about 3 minutes. Flip the doughnuts over
- and fry on the other side. Remove from the oil
- and drain on paper towels.
