Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup warm milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- Oil for frying
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp light corn syrup
- Optional: chopped hazelnuts or sprinkles
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add sugar, eggs, vanilla, and flour. Mix until the dough comes together.
- Add butter gradually, kneading until fully incorporated and the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 1–2 hours until doubled in size.
- Roll out dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into rounds with a donut cutter. Place on a floured tray, cover, and let rise 30–45 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry donuts 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Melt chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup together until smooth and glossy.
- Dip cooled donuts into the chocolate glaze and let them set on a rack. Top with nuts or sprinkles if desired.
Notes
- Ensure oil temperature is steady to prevent greasy donuts.
- Dough can be made the night before and refrigerated overnight for convenience.
- Let glaze set fully before storing to prevent smudging.
