Number Of Ingredients 11

1 recipe - 3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1.2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 recipe (for frying) canola oil
10 slices white bread
1 recipe jam, strawberry or any flavor
1 recipe (for dusting) confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir together eggs, milk, vanilla, and sugar until well blended and sugar is dissolved. In a separate bowl, mix flour with baking powder and salt.
  • Gradually stir flour mixture into egg mixture until no lumps remain. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Make sandwiches with the bread, spreading jam evenly in the center. Trim away crusts, and cut each sandwich into quarters, wiping away any excess jam. Dip each quarter into batter, coating completely.
  • Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, fry sandwiches for 1 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and golden brown. Drain and cool on a paper towel-lined wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  • Serve warm.

Tips:

  • For a classic donut flavor, use all-purpose flour. For a chewier donut, use bread flour. For a lighter donut, use cake flour.
  • Make sure the yeast is active before you start. To do this, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes. If the yeast is active, it will foam up.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the donuts their chewy texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to work and produce carbon dioxide, which will make the donuts light and fluffy.
  • Fry the donuts in hot oil until they are golden brown. Make sure the oil is not too hot, or the donuts will brown too quickly and not cook through.
  • Drain the donuts on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Coat the donuts in your favorite toppings, such as sugar, cinnamon sugar, or glaze.

Conclusion:

Donuts are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make delicious donuts at home. So what are you waiting for? Give these recipes a try and enjoy a fresh, homemade donut soon!
