# Instructions:
01 -
Stir together warm milk, a little sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it stand for 5-10 minutes until bubbles form on top.
02 -
Mix together flour, salt, and sugar in a big bowl. Then add eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and your yeast mixture. Stir it up until it turns into a sticky dough.
03 -
Cover the dough with a cloth and leave it in a cozy spot for 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
04 -
Push the air out of the dough, then roll it out on a floured surface. Split into smaller pieces, make them into balls, and let them sit for 15 minutes.
05 -
Get a deep fryer or pot ready by warming oil to 175°C (350°F).
06 -
Gently add dough balls into the hot oil and cook them for about 2-3 minutes on each side. They’re done when golden brown.
07 -
Take them out of the oil, place them on some paper towels to drain, and roll warm doughnuts in sugar.
08 -
These taste best fresh, so dig in while they’re warm!
