Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup warm water (110°F)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

For the Glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  • Add sugar, warm milk, melted butter, egg, and salt. Mix well.
  • Gradually add flour, kneading until a soft dough forms. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
  • Roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness and cut out doughnuts. Let them rise for another 30 minutes.
