Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment add milk, sugar, Quick-Rise Plus Yeast, butter, eggs, vanilla, flour & salt. Knead until dough is smooth & elastic, about 8 minutes. If dough appears sticky, add flour, one tablespoon at a time.
- Cover & let rise for 45 minutes. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to roughly a ½ inch thick. Using a large biscuit cutter, slice into 12 rounds & transfer each to a square of parchment paper.
- Stamp the center with the handle of a wooden spoon & slice the edges into six evenly sized petals. Let rise a second time until fully proofed, about 30 minutes.
- Heat fryer oil to 350(f) degrees. Working in batches, fry the donuts until golden & cooked throughout, for about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate & let cool slightly.
- Finish with vanilla glaze & a piping of jam in the center.
