Delicious Homemade Donuts
What To Do
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and nutmeg. Mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-6 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 hour. Once the dough has risen, roll it out to 1/2 inch thickness and use a donut cutter to cut out the shapes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 375°F. Carefully place the donuts in the hot oil, cooking each side for 1-2 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze. Dip the cooled donuts in the glaze, making sure to cover each one completely. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your homemade donuts with a cup of coffee or tea for a delicious and indulgent treat!
