👨‍🍳 How to Make Doughnuts

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warm milk, butter, and egg. Mix and knead until a soft smooth dough forms.

Cover the dough and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.

Roll the dough out onto a floured surface and cut doughnut shapes using a cutter or glass.

Place them on a tray and let them rest for another 20–30 minutes until puffy.

Step 3: Fry the Doughnuts

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the doughnuts until golden brown on both sides.

Remove and place on paper towels to absorb extra oil.

Step 4: Decorate

Coat warm doughnuts in powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar, or dip them into chocolate glaze and top with sprinkles.
