Glazed Yeast Doughnuts

🍰 Desserts

Pillowy yeast doughnuts under vanilla glaze, the fairground ring done at home. Flaky, buttery pastry around a filling that actually tastes of the season. Serve warm with cream, custard or a scoop of ice cream.

Prep 37 min Cook 42 min Serves 6 Medium

Ingredients

  • Butter3 tbsp
  • Salt1/2 tsp
  • Milk1 litre
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Active Dry Yeast2 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cube the cold butter and return it to the fridge while you measure the rest.

  2. 2

    Rub the butter into the flour until you have pea-sized crumbs, then bring it together with ice water.

  3. 3

    Rest the dough, wrapped, in the fridge for at least thirty minutes — relaxed dough will not shrink.

  4. 4

    Work the milk and active dry yeast into the dough, folding gently for even distribution.

  5. 5

    Bake hot until the pastry is bronzed and crisp; a cooling spell keeps the filling from running.

Chef's tip

Ovens lie — an inexpensive thermometer is the cheapest upgrade to your baking.
