Ingredients

Servings

• 3 cup All-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₄ cup Granulated sugar
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• 2 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 Egg
• 2 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Add the milk mixture and egg to the flour mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. Punch down the dough and roll it out to 1/2-inch thickness. Use a doughnut cutter or a round cookie cutter to cut out doughnut shapes.
7. Place the doughnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let rise for another 30 minutes.
8. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the doughnuts in batches for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
9. Remove the doughnuts from the oil and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
10. Dust the doughnuts with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
