old fashioned donut

Glazed yeast donuts are the BEST donuts you'll ever eat. I've been making this easy donut recipe for years and can honestly tell you it's PERFECT!

Homemade Glazed Yeast Donuts

sugar

(one package) Instant Or Active Dry Yeast

eggs,

unsalted butter (10 tablespoons

all-purpose flour

salt

Shortening/oil

cup butter, melted

vanilla

cream

To make the dough

 warm the milk until it is getting nice and warm when you dip your finger in it (about 105 degrees). Add the milk to a mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer. Add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Add the yeast and stir to combine. Let the yeast rest for 5 minutes.

Add the beaten eggs and melted butter to the bowl and stir to combine.

While the mixer is running slowly, add the flour and salt and mix until the dough comes together. Mix for a whole five minutes to work the dough well. Turn off the bowl and let the dough sit in the bowl of the mixer for 10 minutes.

After the rest period turn the dough out into a lightly oiled bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours, but up to overnight. The goal is to get the dough cold enough to work with easily and have the butter solidify.

To form the donuts: 

Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it is 1/2 to 1/3 of an inch thick. Use a three-inch donut cutter to cut out the donuts.

Place the cut donuts and holes on a lightly greased baking sheet.

Cover the donuts and let them rise until doubled in size, about one hour. The donuts will be very puffy and airy looking.

To fry the donuts

Heat a few inches of oil or shortening in a large cast iron skillet or fryer over medium heat until the oil reaches 350 to 375 degrees (use a thermometer!). Carefully add the donuts to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. The donut holes will only take about 30 seconds per side.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the hot oil and place them on a paper towel lined baking sheet to remove extra grease. Let them cool slightly. Dip the hot donuts in the glaze (I like to flip on both sides so it&#8217;s fully covered) and enjoy right away.

For the Glaze

Melt the butter in a medium bowl. Add the vanilla and stir to combine. Add the powdered sugar and stir to form a thick paste. Thin out the paste with milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is about as thick as school glue.

How to Make Donuts at Home!

Simple but delicious, these old fashioned style donuts are so easy to make and require no yeast. Soft on the inside but crisp on the outside, these donuts are a crowd-pleaser.

Old Fashioned Donuts

cake flour ((360 grams))

baking powder

nutmeg

sugar ((133 grams))

butter (room temperature (57 grams))

sour cream ((240 grams))

canola oil (for frying)

confectioners’ sugar ((300 grams))

water

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.

In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter and sugar. Beat together on medium speed until well combined, about 1 minute. Add the egg yolks. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl. Add the sour cream and beat until well combined.

Add the flour mixture. Beat on low speed until well combined, scraping down the bowl once to make sure everything is incorporated. Scrape the dough down into the bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm, and up to 1 day.

Fill a large heavy-bottomed pot with oil 2 inches deep. Place over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 335F. Line a large baking sheet with a paper bag or paper towels.

While the oil is heating, invert the chilled dough onto a well-floured surface. Dust the dough well with flour. Roll to ½-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter dipped in flour, cut circles out of the dough. Cut holes in the center of each circle using a 1 ¼-inch round cutter. (The large end of a piping tip works great, too!) Place the donuts and holes on the parchment-lined tray.

Carefully place 2 to 3 donuts in the hot oil at a time. Fry for 2 minutes. (They will sink to the bottom at first but should float in about 5 to 10 seconds.) Flip and fry for another 2 minutes. Flip one more time and fry for 30 to 60 seconds or until golden brown. Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon or strainer and let drain on the paper. Adjust the heat as necessary to keep the oil between 330F and 340F.

For the Donuts:

While the donuts are warm, sift the confectioners’ sugar into a medium bowl. Whisk in the water, the vanilla, and salt until smooth.

Dip the craggy top of each donut in the glaze. Place on a wire cooling rack, glaze side up, and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm or let cool completely. Leftover donuts can be stored, covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days.
