Basic Donut Recipe

Author Marissa from Raegun Ramblings

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 tsp yeast or 1 packet
  • 2 TBS warm water
  • 3/4 C lukewarm milk
  • 1/4 C sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tsp shortening
  • 2 1/2 C AP flour
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a large bowl proof the yeast by sprinkling over warm water and letting sit for 5 minutes or more. Yeast should be foamy. If it’s not foamy your yeast might be too old or your water might have been too hot and killed them.
  • Add milk, sugar, salt, egg, shortening, and 1.5 C flour. Mix on low. Slowly add in flour 1/2 a cup at a time until your dough starts to pull away from the sides of the mixing bowl. Knead for a few more minutes.
  • Turn dough out spray the bowl with spray oil and put the dough back in the bowl covered to rise. Set in a warm place until it doubles in size. You can speed up the rising process by sticking it in the oven with the light on and a bowl of warm water and the oven door closed (but not on).
  • Next turn the dough out onto a floured surface. For mini donuts roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. For regular donuts use 1/2 inch thickness. Then cut with a donut cutter like this one.
  • Heat oil to 300 F and fry donuts flipping to get both sides golden. Pay attention they will fry up fast!
  • While they are still warm glaze and top the donuts and serve

S'mores Glaze

Author Marissa from Raegun Ramblings

Ingredients

  • Marshmallow Fluff
  • Chocolate Chips
  • Graham Crackers

Instructions

  • Mix the Marshmallow fluff with some water and microwave. I just did a heaping tablespoon of fluff to a couple tablespoons of water and stirred. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments until they are 80% melted and then stir to finish melting completely. Break up some graham crackers
  • To glaze the donuts dunk the warm donuts in the marshmallow mixture and then top with the melted chocolate and graham cracker crumbs. Super easy and SUPER tasty.
