Ingredients
@zaris.hub
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
1/2 cup warm water (120 mls)
1/4 cup evaporated milk (60 mls)
1/4 cup butter or shortening (60 mls)
1 large egg
1 yolk
1/4 cup sugar (50 grams)
2 1/2 (maybe more) cups all purpose flour (315 grams or more)
1 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

In bowl, add yeast to warm water and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar. Rest until it starts to bubble.
Add in evaporated milk, butter, eggs, sugar and vanilla.

Whisk the flour and salt together and add to liquids in 1/2 cup
increments until a soft, slightly sticky dough has formed. Dough should
be easy to handle and should not stick to a clean finger tip when
touched.

Place dough in oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Rise for 1 1/2 - 2 hours or until doubled in size.

Once doubled, punch down and roll out into a circle. Cut donuts with donut cutter.
Place donuts on a floured tray, cover with plastic wrap and rise for 1/2 hour until puffy.

Heat oil in karai
Carefully lower the donuts into oil, not more than 2 to 3 at a time. Fry each side for about a minute or until golden brown.
Vanilla Glaze - whisk together 2 cups icing sugar, 1/4 cup milk and 1 tsp vanilla essence add your desired food colour. Dip in when doughnuts are cool enough to handle the glaze. Put the doughnuts on cooling rack till it hardens.
Sugar - I just rolled the doughnuts in sugar when they were piping hot
Chocolate glaze - 1 slab melted dairy milk. Dip in chocolate when the doughnuts are cool.
Optional for Nutella.
