Steps
1
In a small heat-proof bowl, warm milk to 110°F in the microwave, approximately 40 seconds. Milk should be quite warm to the touch but not too hot. Sprinkle yeast over milk and whisk to combine.
2
In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with paddle, combine sugar, water, 6 tbsp Wesson Vegetable Oil, eggs and salt. Add milk mixture and mix just to combine.
3
Switching to a dough hook, add flour into the wet mixture and mix on medium speed for 7 to 8 minutes or until dough is smooth. Dough will be a bit sticky!
4
Remove hook, shape dough into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl at least double the size of your dough ball. Cover bowl with a warm damp tea towel or plastic wrap and place in a warm area until double in size, approximately 45 minutes.
5
Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll to 1/2” thickness. Using a 3 ½” round cutter dipped in flour, cut donuts without twisting. Place donuts on a parchment lined baking sheet and allow the donuts to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
6
Preheat 6 cups Wesson Oil to 360°F in a large heavy bottom pot or deep fryer.
7
Gently drop donuts 3-4 at a time, into hot oil and fry each side for approximately 2 minutes or until golden. Remove donuts to a paper towel lined baking sheet and allow to cool.
8
Glaze - Combine all ingredients with whisk. Start with a small amount of water and gradually add more until your desired consistency is reached. For coated donuts, a thicker glaze works best.
9
Dip tops of donuts into glaze and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Decorate with coconut flakes, sprinkles, or your favorite toppings before the glaze has set. Allow glaze to set.
