Doughnuts Recipe

These doughnuts tastes and smells wonderful! It reminds me of  "Tim Hortons" doughnuts, the one with chocolate syrup on top, ooo just so yummy. Except these are homemade and there is only one problem, which is you are going to need a lot of patience, because they take a while, but trust me it's worth it. Another thing I love using this recipe for is to make soft pretzels, like the ones at Mr.Pretzel and they tastes the same, which is great!

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 1/8 cups whole milk, warmed (aka 1 cup and 2 tablespoons)
• 3 teaspoons instant yeast
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter, melted ( aka 1/2 cup and 2 tablespoons) 
• 4 cups all-purpose flour (more if needed, for dusting)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

Amount: 24 doughnuts
Instructions:

• In a large bowl, add sugar, warm milk and yeast. (Leave it aside, until yeast starts to bubble, 5-10 minutes.
• In a small bowl, melt the butter and then add eggs, whisk constantly. Add to the large bowl of milk/sugar/yeast mixture.
• Continue mixing and add flour and salt to the bowl, and put the flour in 1/2 cup at a time.
• After everything is evenly incorporated, mix for an extra 5 minutes. 
• Then take another large bowl and lightly oil the bowl, take the dough and put it in the lightly-oiled bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours or overnight. 
• After, put the dough on a floured surface and roll it to about 1/4-inch thick. Use a doughnut cutter or a Bath and Body Works room spray lid and the top of a glass. 
• After finishing the doughnut shapes, place a tea towel lightly on top and leave it for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. (For them to rise)

Cooking:

• Add your vegetable oil, to medium-high heat and take a little piece from the doughnut drop in the frying pan and check if it sizzles immediately, which means your oil is ready.
• Carefully flip them when you see one side is turning a light brown, this process should take only about 60 seconds. 
• Place them on a paper towel plate, and voila you are finished, if they look a little imperfect, don't worry it just shows how unique and special, every single doughnut is, as well as extra light and fluffy. 

Hope you enjoyed!
