Powdered Sugar Doughnut Recipe

American · Dessert · 45 min total

Classic yeast-raised doughnuts coated in a generous layer of powdered sugar, light and fluffy with a delicate sweetness.

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole milk, warmed to 110°F
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 1 cup powdered sugar, for coating

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast; let stand 5 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and salt. Add yeast mixture and stir.
3. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn onto a floured surface and knead 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
5. Punch down dough and roll out to 1/2-inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut out doughnuts with a 3-inch cutter and a 1-inch center cutter. Re-roll scraps.
6. Place doughnuts on a floured baking sheet, cover, and let rise 30 minutes until puffy.
7. Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep pot to 350°F. Fry doughnuts 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
8. While still warm, toss doughnuts in powdered sugar until coated. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra fluffiness, ensure the milk is not too hot or it will kill the yeast.
• Use a thermometer to maintain oil temperature for even frying.
• Store leftover doughnuts in an airtight container for up to 2 days, but they are best fresh.
