Tips for Success
✅ Warm milk, not hot – hot liquid can kill the yeast
✅ Let dough rise until doubled – don’t rush this step
✅ Fry at 350°F (175°C) – too hot and they’ll burn outside but stay raw inside
✅ Drain on paper towels – helps keep them light and not greasy
✅ Dust or glaze while warm – toppings stick best when fresh

Instructions
1. Activate the Yeast
Warm the milk (not too hot). Stir in sugar and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.
Add the egg, softened butter, and yeast mixture.
Mix and knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour).
3. Shape the Doughnuts
Roll out the dough to about ½ inch thick.
Use a doughnut cutter or two round cutters (large and small) to shape.
Place on a floured surface, cover lightly, and let rise again (30–45 minutes).
4. Fry
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
Fry doughnuts in batches, 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. Finish with Toppings
Toss in cinnamon sugar, dip in glaze, or dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
