Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of milk, warmed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons of yeast, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of warm milk, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a donut cutter to cut out donut shapes.
- Place the donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with a kitchen towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the donuts in batches for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of caramel sauce with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar until smooth.
- Dip each donut into the caramel glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place on a wire rack to set for 5 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy your delicious caramel glazed donuts!
