Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 3 tablespoons boiling water
- 1 teaspoon dry active yeast
- 8 ounces all-purpose flour (a little under 2 cups; weigh for accuracy)
- 1 1/2 ounces sugar (about 3 tablespoons)
- 1 egg
- 1 ounce butter (cold to room temperature)
- A dash of salt
- Oil for frying
- 1/3 cup butter
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 4 tablespoons hot water (or as needed)
- Combine milk and boiling water in a jug. Add a teaspoon of sugar and the yeast. Stir gently and leave in a warm place to activate (foam).
- In a mixing bowl, mix flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until it resembles crumbs.
- Add beaten egg and yeast mixture to flour. Mix into a smooth dough (about 5 minutes).
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes. Place it back in the bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled (about 1 hour).
- Cut risen dough into 4 pieces. Stretch each into a long rope, cut into inch-long strips, and form into balls. Place on a tray and cover.
- Heat oil to 375°F. Fry doughnuts until golden (about 2 minutes per side), in batches.
- Drain and glaze while warm.
