Categories     Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 ¼ cups (16oz/454g) all-purpose flour
¼ cup (2 oz/57g) granulated sugar
2 ¼ teaspoons active dried yeast*
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup + 1 tablespoon (8floz/225ml) whole milk
4 tablespoons (2oz/57g) butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Mix the flour, sugar, yeast*, and salt together in a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook.
  • In a measuring jug, heat together the milk and butter until the butter has melted. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Turn the machine on low and slowly add the milk mixture until your dough comes together to form a ball. If your dough is a little dry add a splash more milk.
  • Increase the speed to medium and mix until the dough is shiny and smooth, 6-8 minutes. The dough is supposed to be saggy.
  • Rub your mixing bowl with vegetable oil (or any flavorless oil) . Place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat lightly.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap tightly and let the dough rise until doubled, roughly 2 hours.
  • Once it has risen, turn out the fluffy dough onto a floured work surface. Roll out to ½ inch thick
  • Using a 3 inch round cutter, cut off your donuts circles. Dust your cutter in flour so it doesn't stick to the dough. Then cut out the donut holes with a much smaller cutter. Re-roll and cut any leftover dough. You will get 12-14 donuts. TIP: You can prepare the donuts to this stage and put them in the refrigerator until the next day. When needed, take out and let me come to room temp and rise a little (roughly 30 minutes) and then fry off as instructed below.
  • Cover your donuts with cling film and let them rise at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
  • Pour around 2-3 inches of oil into a medium, deep pan.
  • Heat the oil over medium/high heat for a few minutes to heat up. If using a thermometer bring to 350oF (180oC).
  • When your oil is hot, drop 3-4 doughnuts at a time in the oil. Fry for about 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly browned on one side, then flip and fry until the other side is browned. Set aside on kitchen paper until you have cooked them all off.
  • Dunk the donuts while fresh and warm into the chocolate glaze one by one. Let the excess glaze drip off before placing on a wire rack to dry. Lastly, add some sprinkles on top.
  • Once the glaze dries I strongly urge you to eat them as fresh as possible because they are at their absolute best!
  • * Some Active Dry yeast will need to be sponged. This means stiring the yeast into the liquids to dissolve it/sponge it before adding to the flour. Some Fast Acting Dry Yeast can be added to the flour, check the pack.

  • Top a cooling rack with a layer of paper towels, and place over a rimmed sheet tray. Attach a deep-frying thermometer to the side of large heavy-bottomed pot or dutch oven, heat 2-inches of oil, over medium-high, to 375°F Add doughnuts to the oil, being careful not to overcrowd, fry until doughnuts float to the surface of the oil, then continue to fry until golden about two minutes more.

  • Glaze:.

Place bowl over a pot of simmering water until thin and smooth, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Using your fingers, or tongs fully submerge each doughnut in the glaze.

2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast

  • Heat one cup of milk and 4 tablespoons of butter in a measuring jug, and stir in one tablespoon vanilla extract once everything's melted.

  • Then transfer this dough to a mixing bowl rubbed with a flavorless oil like vegetable oil and turn it around till lightly coated before covering with plastic wrap. Then leave to rise to double for about 2 hours.
  • Once the dough doubles, transfer it to a floured work surface and roll out to half an inch thick.
  • Use a three inch round cutter to cut out your doughnut circles and a smaller cutter to cut out the doughnut holes. To cut out more doughnuts,re-roll the leftover dough.
  • Cover the resulting 12-14 doughnuts with plastic wrap and allow them to rise for 20-30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Add 2-3 inches of oil into a deep pan and heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350 °F.
  • Carefully add 3 to 4 doughnuts at a time to this hot oil and fry their one side for two minutes until lightly browned. Next, flip the doughnuts to fry the other side and transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat for all the doughnuts.
  • Make the milk chocolate glaze by whisking powdered sugar and cocoa powder in a medium bowl before adding 3 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk till silky smooth, adding more milk if desired for a more dippable texture.

Tips:

  • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for a tangier flavor.
  • Proof the yeast in warm water before adding it to the dough. This will help the yeast to activate and produce a light and fluffy donut.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough and produce a chewy donut.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will help the yeast to produce carbon dioxide gas, which will create air pockets in the dough and make the donuts light and fluffy.
  • Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch. This will ensure that the donuts are cooked evenly.
  • Cut out the donuts using a donut cutter or a sharp knife. Make sure to cut the donuts straight down, so that they rise evenly.
  • Fry the donuts in hot oil for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown. Make sure to turn the donuts frequently so that they cook evenly.
  • Drain the donuts on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Glaze the donuts with chocolate glaze. To make the chocolate glaze, simply whisk together melted chocolate, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
