Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- ¾ cup warm milk
- ¼ cup sugar
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- Oil for frying
- 2 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 3 tbsp maple syrup (for glaze)
- 2–3 tbsp milk (for glaze)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Mix in sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead for 5–6 minutes, then place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
- Roll dough into a rectangle about ½ inch thick. Cut into bars and place on a floured surface. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes.
- Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry donut bars in batches for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Whisk powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla until smooth for the glaze.
- Dip warm donuts into the glaze and let set on a wire rack.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for frying to achieve a golden brown color.
