  • 2 ¼teaspoonsactive dry yeast
  • 2cupsmilk
  • 3cupsall-purpose flour
  • 1teaspoonwhite sugar
  • 3eggs, beaten
  • 1cupwhite sugar
  • ¼cupmelted margarine or butter
  • 1 ½teaspoonssalt
  • 4cupsall-purpose flour
  • 2quartsvegetable oil for frying
  • confectioners' sugar for dusting (Optional)

  • Directions

    Combine warm water and yeast in a small bowl; let stand for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, warm milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles; remove from the heat and let cool until lukewarm.

    Combine 3 cups of flour and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a large bowl; stir in lukewarm milk until smooth. Add yeast mixture and mix well; cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

    Stir in beaten eggs, 1 cup of sugar, melted butter, and salt; mix in enough of the remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Cover and let rise for a second time until doubled, about 1 hour.

    Punch down dough and divide into 2 equal portions. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut dough with a biscuit cutter. Make 2 slits with a sharp knife in the middle of each doughnut. Cover and let rise a third time until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

    Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

    Fry doughnuts in hot oil in batches until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels or brown paper bags. Toss in confectioners sugar while still warm.



    We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
