donutes!!!.

1. Gather the Ingredients

You'll need:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • vegetable oil or shortening for deep-frying
  • desired coating or icing.
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons (one package) Instant Or Active Dry Yeast.
  • 2 whole large eggs, lightly beaten. 1 and 1/4 stick unsalted butter (10 tablespoons), melted.

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt.
    • Shortening/oil for frying.

    On a well-floured surface, roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Do not stir additional flour into the dough; this can cause the finished donut recipe to be heavy and dry.

    If using an electric deep-fat fryer, heat the oil to 365°F according to manufacturer's directions. Or, in a heavy, deep large saucepan, heat the oil to 365°F.

    Ease a donut into the heated oil with a long-handle slotted spoon, taking care not to let the oil spatter. Fry the donuts, two or three at a time, in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes or until they are golden brown, turning once. Remove the donuts with the slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drain back into the fryer or pan.

    Let them sit for a minute or two then glaze and enjoy!!!
