Ingredients:
For the Doughnuts:
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup warm milk (around 110°F/43°C)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
For Frying:
- Vegetable oil for frying
For Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, softened butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about ½ inch thick.
- Cut the dough into strips and twist each strip.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the dough twists until they are golden brown on both sides. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the twists from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- In a bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. While the doughnuts are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
- Allow the doughnuts to cool slightly before serving.
