Ingredients List

Unsalted butter:2 tablespoons
Milk:1 cup
Sugar:2 tablespoons
Salt:1/2 teaspoon
Egg:1
Active dry yeast:1 package
All-purpose flour:2 1/2 cups
Vegetable oil:For frying
Cinnamon:For coating, to taste
Sugar:For coating, to taste

Important Notes

⚠️

Ensure the milk mixture is lukewarm, not hot, when you add the yeast. If it's too hot, it can kill the yeast and prevent the dough from rising.

⚠️

Proper proofing is key to a fluffy texture. Be patient and wait for the dough to rise as instructed, especially the final rise after shaping.

⚠️

Coat the doughnuts in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while they are still warm. This helps the sugar to stick properly to the surface.
