Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon of active dry yeast and 1/2 cup of whole milk, then mix until a smooth batter forms.
- Knead the dough for 5 to 7 minutes until it is elastic and shiny.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
- Deflate the dough and roll it out to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
- Cut out donut shapes using a donut cutter or the rim of a glass.
- Fry the donuts in 350°F (180°C) oil for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer the donuts to paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Glaze the donuts with a mixture of 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk, and adjust the consistency as needed.

Notes
Temperature Control: I always make sure my milk is just warm to the touch before adding the yeast, because if it is too hot it will kill the yeast and your dough will never rise.
