Homemade Glazed Donuts Recipe

Ingredients:

- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

- ½ cup granulated sugar

- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast

- ½ teaspoon salt

- ½ cup whole milk, warmed

- ¼ cup water, warmed

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

- 2 large eggs

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)

For the Glaze:

- 2 cups powdered sugar

- ¼ cup milk

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, warm water, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.

4. Gradually add the remaining flour, ½ cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.

5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

7. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to about ½ inch thickness.

8. Using a donut cutter or two round cookie cutters (one large and one small), cut out donut shapes. Re-roll any scraps of dough and continue cutting until all the dough is used.

9. Place the cut-out donuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover them with a clean kitchen towel, and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until puffed up.

10. While the donuts are rising, heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).

11. Carefully place a few donuts at a time into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

12. Remove the donuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil.

13. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth to make the glaze.

14. Dip each donut into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off, then place them back on the wire rack to set.

15. Let the glaze set for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade glazed donuts!

Notes:

- You can customize your donuts by adding toppings like sprinkles, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut to the glaze before it sets.

- These donuts are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
