Frosted Donuts Recipe

Prepare the Dough

1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy. 2. Add melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Mix well. 3. Gradually add flour and salt. Mix until a dough forms. 4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. 5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape and Fry the Donuts

1. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness. 2. Using a donut cutter, cut out donuts and donut holes. 3. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). 4. Fry the donuts and holes in batches, about 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown. 5. Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Frost the Donuts

1. Prepare your favorite frosting or glaze. 2. Dip the top of each donut into the frosting/glaze and place on a wire rack. 3. Decorate with sprinkles or other toppings, if desired. 4. Allow to set for a few minutes before serving.
