CLASSIC GLAZED DONUTS RECIPE BY TASTY



Classic Glazed Donuts Recipe by Tasty image

Making donuts and munchkins from scratch can seem like an intimidating endeavor, but once you go homemade, it's really hard to go back to store-bought. After you make the dough and let it rise overnight, you'll cut the donut and donut hole shapes and fry them in a heavy pan. While they rest, whisk together the glaze and either drizzle over the donuts or dunk them in it. Add sprinkles if you want and enjoy your warm, fresh-baked treats - this recipe makes a lot of them!

Provided by Frank Tiu

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ cups milk, warm to the touch
1 cup sugar
½ oz yeast
1 stick unsalted butter, soft
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
5 cups flour, sifted
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
shortening, for frying
3 cups powdered sugar
1 cup dry milk powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup water, hot

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, add the milk, sugar, and yeast, stirring to combine.
  • In a separate medium bowl, add the butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, stirring to combine.
  • Add the milk mixture to the egg mixture and whisk to combine. Transfer to a large bowl and add the flour in thirds, stirring between each addition.
  • Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, until smooth. Gently poke the dough with a finger--the dough should bounce back up from the indentation.
  • Place the dough in a large bowl, and lightly coat the dough with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for an hour, or until doubled in size.
  • Take the dough out and knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and repeat with rise overnight in refrigerator.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface until ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
  • Cut out the doughnuts and donut holes with a cookie cutter and piping tip.
  • Melt enough shortening over medium heat to come up just 2 inches (5 cm) up on the side of a heavy frying pan. Heat the shortening to 375°F (190°C)
  • Fry the donuts and donut holes for 45 seconds on each side, or until golden brown.
  • In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, dry milk powder, vanilla extract and hot water until smooth.
  • Strain the glaze through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
  • Dunk the donuts in the glaze or drizzle the glaze on top.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by STEPHY800

Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes

Time 16m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons white vinegar
⅜ cup milk
2 tablespoons shortening
½ cup white sugar
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 quart oil for deep frying
½ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Stir the vinegar into the milk, and let stand for a few minutes until thick.
  • In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla until well blended. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the sugar mixture alternating with the vinegar and milk. Roll dough out on a floured surface to 1/3 inch thickness. Cut into doughnuts using a donut cutter. Let stand for about 10 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a large deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry doughnuts in the hot oil until golden, turning over once. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar while they are still warm, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a donut cutter or a round cookie cutter to cut out the donuts. If you don't have a donut cutter, you can use a knife to cut out circles of dough.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the donuts. If the oil is not hot enough, the donuts will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Fry the donuts in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding the pan will cause the donuts to stick together and become misshapen.
  • Drain the donuts on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the donuts warm with your favorite toppings, such as powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or glaze.

Conclusion:

These easy apple donuts are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you enjoy them plain or topped with your favorite glaze, these donuts are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
