Pioneer Woman's glazed donuts are light, fluffy, and the best homemade donuts I've ever eaten. These glazed donuts are my absolute favorite!
INGREDIENTS
For the Donuts:
1 and 1/8 cup whole milk, warm
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons (one package) Instant Or Active Dry Yeast
2 whole large eggs, lightly beaten
1 and 1/4 stick unsalted butter (10 tablespoons), melted
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Shortening/oil for frying
Glaze for hot yeast donuts:
4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar
Enough milk to make a thin icing (about 1/2 cup)
INSTRUCTIONS
To make the dough: warm the milk until it is getting nice and warm when you dip your finger in it (about 105 degrees). Add the milk to a mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer. Add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Add the yeast and stir to combine. Let the yeast rest for 5 minutes.
Add the beaten eggs and melted butter to the bowl and stir to combine.
While the mixer is running slowly, add the flour and salt and mix until the dough comes together. Mix for a whole five minutes to work the dough well. Turn off the bowl and let the dough sit in the bowl of the mixer for 10 minutes.
After the rest period turn the dough out into a lightly oiled bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 8 hours up to overnight.
