2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
½ cup warm water (120 mls)
¼ cup evaporated milk (60 mls)
¼ cup butter or shortening (60 mls)
1 large egg
1 yolk
¼ cup sugar (50 grams)
2 ½ (maybe more) cups all purpose flour (315 grams or more)
1 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

METHOD

In bowl, add yeast to warm water and ½ teaspoon of sugar. Rest until it starts to bubble.
Add in evaporated milk, butter, eggs, sugar and vanilla.

Whish the flour and salt together and add to liquids in ½ cup
increments until a soft, slightly sticky dough has formed. Dough should
be easy to handle and should not stick to a clean finger tip when
touched.

Place dough in oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Rise for 1 ½ - 2 hours or until doubled in size.

Once doubled, punch down and roll out into a circle. Cut donuts with donut cutter.

Place donuts on a floured tray, cover with plastic wrap and rise for ½ hour until puffy.

Heat oil to about (365F) vegetable, canola or shortening can be used.
Carefully lower the donuts into oil, not more than 2 to 3 at a time. Fry each side for about a minute or until golden brown.

Remove donuts and place on kitchen towels, flipping it onto each side a few times to dry the oil. Place onto a cooling tray.

Glaze and serve warm.
