Ingredients<\/u>:<\/b>
\nDough:<\/b>
\n3 tbsp milk
\n3 tbsp boiling water
\n1 tsp dry active yeast
\n8 oz all purpose flour (a little under 2 cups – i recommend you measure and weigh. see my note above)
\n1 1\/2 oz sugar (about 3 tablespoons)
\n1 egg
\n1 oz butter, cold to room temperature (just don’t melt it, okay?)
\ndash of salt
\nenough oil to cover the bottom few inches of a wok, or a deep fryer.<\/p>\n
Glaze:<\/b>
\n1\/3 cup butter
\n2 cups confectioners’ sugar
\n1 1\/2 teaspoons vanilla
\n4 tablespoons hot water or as needed<\/p>\n
Directions<\/u>:<\/b>
\nIn a large measuring jug, combine the milk and boiling water. Add a teaspoon of the sugar and the yeast. Stir it gently, then leave it in a warm place for the yeast to activate (aka foam).
\nIn a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, the rest of the sugar, and the salt. Cut in the butter using your fingers or a pastry blender, until it resembles crumbs.
\nAdd the egg (give it a quick beat) and yeast mixture to the flour mix, and mix into a smooth dough. This usually takes about 5 minutes of mixing.
\nTurn the dough out onto a lightly-floured counter and knead for about 5 to 10 minutes\u2014it should feel springy and little bubbles should form under the surface. Place it back in the bowl, cover with a cloth or plastic wrap, and let rise for about an hour until double in size.
\nOnce risen, place the dough onto the counter and cut it into 4 pieces. One piece at a time, stretch it into a long rope about an inch to an inch and a half wide. Cut strips about an inch long, ball em up with your hands, and place them on a baking tray or wire rack to wait.
\nCover the doughnuts holes with a cloth to rise while you heat the oil to 375F.
\nPlace the doughnuts into the oil and fry until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes. Be sure to fry only a few at a time so they don\u2019t overcrowd and stick together.
\nDrain on a paper towel or wire rack over a cloth, before glazing them. Be sure to glaze them warm, or else they won\u2019t get that delicious coverage!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
