Prep Time

The preparation time for this recipe is around 15 minutes.

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is around 10 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
  • Sprinkles, for decoration (optional)

Equipment

  • Bread machine
  • Frying pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Wire rack

Method

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk, sugar, and butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Place the egg in the bread machine pan, followed by the flour, yeast, and salt. Pour the cooled milk mixture over the top.
  3. Select the dough setting on your bread machine and press start.
  4. When the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine and place it on a lightly floured surface.
  5. Roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness and use a donut cutter to cut out the donuts. If you don’t have a donut cutter, use a biscuit cutter for the outer circle and a smaller round cutter for the hole in the center.
  6. Place the cut donuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover with a clean towel. Let rise for 30 minutes.
  7. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 375°F.
  8. Carefully add the donuts to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack to cool.
  9. Dust the cooled donuts with confectioners’ sugar and decorate with sprinkles, if desired.
  10. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Donuts are best when eaten fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • If you prefer baked donuts, preheat your oven to 375°F and bake the donuts for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.

Recipes FAQ

  • Can I use a different type of flour?

    • Yes, you can use bread flour or whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.

  • Can I make the dough ahead of time?

    • Yes, you can make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Let it come to room temperature before frying or baking.

  • Can I freeze the dough?

    • Yes, you can freeze the dough for up to 3 months. Let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure the milk mixture has cooled before adding it to the bread machine, as hot liquid can kill the yeast.
  • Don’t skip the rising time, as this allows the dough to become light and fluffy.
  • When frying the donuts, be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this can cause the oil temperature to drop and make the donuts greasy.
  • Use a wire rack to cool the donuts, as this allows air to circulate around them and prevents them from becoming soggy.
  • Experiment with different toppings and fillings to customize your donuts.
