  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 4 cups All purpose flour 490g
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

  • 2 cups Sifter powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup Heavy cream or milk if cream unavailable
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla

For Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 4 tbsp Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Cinnamon Powder

Instructions
 

  • In a stand mixer with the dough hook and the warmed milk. Sprinkle yeast and 1/2 tsp sugar, mix them and let the mixture froth for 5-10 min. It should get bubbly
  • Add the remaining sugar, eggs, butter, 2 cups flour and salt. Beat until combined
  • Add the remaining flour and beat on medium high until the dough starts pulling off from the sides around 5-7 mins
  • You want a soft slightly sticky dough, if too wet add up to 2tbsp flour slowly
  • Form dough into a ball and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 2 minutes, then place into a greased bowl
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest for an hour, or until it has doubled in size
  • Once it has doubled, punch the dough to release any air bubbles and place it onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough into 2cm thickness
  • With a doughnut cutter, cut out 12 doughnuts. Place them on baking paper and cover with a towel. Let them rest for 20 mins. While waiting, 10 mins thru resting, place a pot on your stove, fill with vegetable oil and turn the heat on high, You want reaaaally hot oil (190C) so you don't end up with oily doughnuts
  • Place three doughnuts at a time, frying for a min on each side. Remove and place on kitchen towel to absorb excess oil

Glaze

  • Mix all ingredients together in a shallow bowl, dip the doughnuts on one side and let them sit for 10 mins until the glaze has hardened and the excess has dripped over

Cinnamon Sugar
