Servings: 24 Donuts
Calories: 212kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk scalded
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup warm water
- 2 packets active dry yeast
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 4 tbsp butter melted
- 5 cups all purpose flour sifted
Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a medium bowl add the milk, sugar, water and yeast and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Beat eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle attachment until frothy. Add the yeast mixture, salt and melted butter and mix to combine. Add the sifted flour all at once and beat well to incorporate.
- Remove the bowl and cover with a towel and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Using a rubber spatula, drag along the edge of the dough and allow to rise for another 20 minutes.
- Prepare a dutch oven or deep fryer by adding 2 inches of oil. Heat to 375º F degrees. Grab pieces of the dough and drop into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and then flip over. Remove to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Mix the remaining sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl and dip the warm donuts to coat. Eat immediately.
