Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together the warm milk, yeast, and one tablespoon of the sugar. Allow the mixture to sit for 5-10 minutes until it is foamy.
- Add the flour, eggs, vanilla, and the remaining sugar to the yeast mixture. Using the dough hook attachment, knead the dough on medium-low speed until it is just combined.
- Add the softened butter and increase the speed to medium. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for one hour in a warm spot, or until it has doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 10x13 inch rectangle about 1/2 inch in thickness.
- Use a biscuit cutter or drinking glass about 3 inches in diameter to cut out 12 donuts. If desired, re-roll the scraps and cut out as many donuts as you can. Lightly cover the donuts with greased plastic wrap and allow them to rise for an hour.
- Heat about three inches of oil in a large pot. Once the oil has reached 350°F, add a few donuts at a time (do not overcrowd the pot). Fry the donuts on each side for a few minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil, then toss them in a bowl with sugar to coat all sides. Repeat with the remaining donuts.
- Allow the donuts to fully cool. Use a butter knife to make a small hole in the side of each donut. Gently squeeze your favorite filling into the donuts with a piping bag. Serve immediately and enjoy!
