Ingredients
4½ tsp yeast
½ cup water, lukewarm
1 tsp brown sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tsp salt
4 tsp butter
½ cup milk
2 tsp butter
3 tbsp evaporated milk
1½ tsp vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
Preparation
To make the Yeast Mixture: Add the yeast, water, and brown sugar to a bowl and mix well.
Set aside and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
In another bowl, add the flour, egg, brown sugar, salt, butter, and milk. Mix well.
Add in the bloomed yeast mixture and continue to mix until well combined.
Transfer the dough mixture onto a flat surface dusted lightly with flour and knead. Knead until the dough has become smooth and elastic, about 5 to 10 minutes. Form into a ball.
Transfer dough to a greased and floured bowl and cover with a clean kitchen cloth. Let the dough rest for 1 to 2 hours, or until it has risen to double its size.
Lightly dust a flat surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Roll the dough out until ¼-inch in thickness.
Cut out the doughnuts using a doughnut or cookie cutter.
Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
Fry the doughnuts at 375 degrees F for about 45 seconds each side or until golden brown. Cook your doughnuts a few pieces at a time to avoid overcrowding your pot. Drain excess oil.
To make the Glaze: Melt butter in a pan over low heat. Add evaporated milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Whisk until smooth.
Place doughnuts on a cooling rack, and pour the glaze onto the doughnuts. Allow to set.
Garnish with powdered sugar, and serve!
