👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 tsp of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
⏱️ 10 minutes💡 Conseils de pro: Ensures yeast is active. - 2
In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with the remaining sugar and softened butter until creamy.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Add the foamy yeast mixture and the egg-butter mixture to the flour. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
⏱️ 10 minutes💡 Conseils de pro: Dough should spring back when lightly pressed. - 5
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
⏱️ 1.5 hours💡 Conseils de pro: A slightly warm oven (turned off) is a good place to let dough rise. - 6
Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to about 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) thickness.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 7
Using a round cookie cutter (about 6-7 cm or 2.5-3 inches), cut out doughnuts. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
⏱️ 30 minutes💡 Conseils de pro: This second rise makes them extra fluffy. - 8
Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven to 175°C (350°F).
💡 Conseils de pro: Use a thermometer for accurate temperature. - 9
Carefully fry the doughnuts in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
⏱️ 6 minutes💡 Conseils de pro: Do not overcrowd the pot. - 10
Once slightly cooled, dust generously with powdered sugar. If filling, use a piping bag to inject jam or pastry cream into the center.
💡 Conseils de pro: Fillings are best added when doughnuts are still warm but not hot.
