Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • For the Glaze:
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and roll it out to ½ inch thickness on a floured surface.
  7. Cut out donut shapes using a donut cutter or two different sized round cutters.
  8. Place the donuts on parchment-lined baking sheets, cover, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  9. Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Fry the donuts in batches for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  11. Remove donuts and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  12. While the donuts are still warm, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, maple syrup, melted butter, and milk until smooth.
  13. Dip each donut into the glaze, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  14. Let the glaze set before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure your milk is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
  • For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon to the dough.
  • Adjust the thickness of the glaze by adding more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze or more milk for a thinner one.
