Preparation
Step 1
Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water, then add warm milk, egg, sugar, butter, and flour. Mixing well using an electric mixer for about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Sprinkle little more flour on the dough and knead by hand so its not sticky and then cover dough for at least an hour, or overnight in the fridge.
Step 3
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough with a rolling pin about half an inch thick.
Step 4
Cut doughnuts with a cutter (I used cup), then a smaller cutter (bottle top) for the centers.
Step 5
Let it rise for 30 more minutes.
Step 6
When doughnuts have risen, heat oil in a wide, shallow pan on medium heat. Test one doughnut holes in the oil, it should bubble and quickly brown.
Step 7
Fry one doughnut at a time. Doughnuts brown in a few seconds, watch for it.
Step 8
Flip doughnut over to brown the other side.
Step 9
Set cooked doughnuts on a rack or on paper towels to drain. Dip one side of doughnut in the sugar glaze and ENJOY!
Step 10
