  • Re-roll any leftover dough and repeat until all doughnuts are cut out.

    • 5. Fry the Doughnuts:

    • Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or large pot over medium heat. You’ll want the oil to reach a temperature of about 350°F (175°C). To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of dough into the oil—it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
    • Carefully lower the doughnuts into the hot oil, a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

    6. Prepare the Glaze:

    • While the doughnuts are cooling slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (or cream), and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and well combined.

    7. Glaze the Doughnuts:

    • Once the doughnuts have cooled slightly, dip the tops into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. For an extra touch, you can also sprinkle them with a bit of colored sugar, sprinkles, or even a dusting of cinnamon and sugar.

    8. Enjoy Your Homemade Doughnuts!

    • Let the glaze set for a few minutes, then serve your delicious, homemade doughnuts fresh! Whether you’re serving them for breakfast or as a treat with your afternoon coffee, these doughnuts will definitely be a hit.

    Variations & Tips:

    • Flavor Add-ins: You can experiment with different flavorings like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cocoa powder to add variety to the dough. Add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the dough or mix it into the sugar for a cinnamon-sugar coating after frying.
    • Filling Ideas: For filled doughnuts, pipe in a sweet filling such as jam, chocolate ganache, or custard once the doughnuts have cooled slightly.
    • Alternative Glazes: Instead of the classic glaze, you can coat your doughnuts with a chocolate glaze, maple syrup glaze, or even a glaze flavored with fruit juice (such as orange or lemon).
    • Baking Option: If you’re looking to make a healthier version, you can bake the doughnuts in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown. They won’t have the same crispy texture as fried doughnuts, but they will still be delicious!
