Donuts Recipe Easy 


For the dough


  • 1/2 to 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 package yeast
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
For the Icing
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tbs vegetable oil
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (use clear extract for the vanilla)
 2-3 tbs water (use milk for the vanilla)
•1/2 cup cocoa powder for the chocolate

In a large bowl mix together the warm milk, yeast, salt and sugar. Cover and let rest for five minutes or until yeast starts to foam. Then mix in butter, egg, vanilla extract and orange zest. Add flour gradually then knead by hand. When dough reaches a nice smooth consistency form into a bowl and let rise for about 40 minutes or until it doubles in size. Roll out dough , cut out donuts and let rise on a lightly greased surface for about 20 minutes. Fry in vegetable oil for about a minute or two on each side on low very heat. Flip over to ensure even browning. Place on a wire rack intially then transfer to parchment paper or paper towels. Parchment paper has less chemicals and will absorb any excess oil that hasn’t dripped off while on the wire rack. While donuts cool make your Icing! Take one cup of powdered sugar in a medium bowl, add vanilla extract and oil, stir a bit, add cocoa powder if making chocolate, then add water or milk gradually stiring until you reach the consistency you want.
Dip and twist donuts into glaze.
Let set for a bit.
Eat and enjoy!
