Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the dough

In a large bowl, mix together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

2
Heat the milk and butter

In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm (about 110°F/43°C).

3
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients

Pour the warm milk mixture into the flour mixture. Add 2 whole eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms.

4
Knead the dough

On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

5
Let the dough rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

6
Roll out the dough

Punch down the dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness.

7
Cut out the donuts

Using a donut cutter or two different-sized round cutters, cut out the donuts and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.

8
Heat the oil

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat 4 cups of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

9
Fry the donuts

Carefully place the donuts in the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the donuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack to cool.

10
Prepare the glaze

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of powdered sugar and 1/4 cup of heavy cream until smooth.

11
Glaze the donuts

Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack to set.

12
Serve and enjoy

Once the glaze has set, serve the Classic Glazed Donuts and enjoy their delightful sweetness and irresistible texture.
