You'll need flour, sugar, yeast, eggs, milk, butter, and oil for frying. Simple pantry staples come together to make the best homemade doughnuts in minutes!
1. Gather Your Ingredients
Combine the ingredients and knead the dough until soft and elastic. Let it rest so it rises properly, ensuring light and airy doughnuts full of fluffy goodness.
2. Mix and Knead the Dough
Roll out the dough and cut into circles. Use a smaller cutter to make the hole in the center. Don't have a cutter? A glass and bottle cap work just as well!
3. Shape the Doughnut
Place the shaped dough on a tray and cover it. Let it rest for about an hour until it puffs up. This step is key to getting soft, pillowy doughnuts.
4. Let the Dough Rise
Heat oil in a pan and fry the doughnuts until golden on both sides. Keep the heat medium so they cook evenly without burning or staying raw inside.
5. Fry Until Golden Brown
Coat them with sugar, dip in chocolate, or drizzle with glaze. You can even stuff them with jam or cream for an extra sweet surprise in every bite.
6. Add Your Favorite Topping
Nothing beats fresh homemade doughnuts! Serve them warm with coffee or milk, and share with family and friends for a delightful, homemade treat. 4o4o
