Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk (110°F / 43°C)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: Warm milk to 110°F. Sprinkle in yeast and let it sit until frothy (5-10 minutes).
  2. Create the Dough: In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Add melted butter and activated yeast mixture; stir until combined.
  3. Knead: Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Let It Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled.
  5. Shape Donuts: Punch down the risen dough, roll into a rectangle, cut strips, and twist each strip into spirals.
  6. Fry: Heat oil to 350°F in a deep pot. Fry each donut until golden brown (2-3 minutes per side).
