Chocolate Glaze Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine *350 milliliters (1.5 cups) of warm milk* with *3 tablespoons of sugar* and the *yeast*. Allow the mixture to stand for about *10 minutes*. Meanwhile, melt the *butter*.
Step 2
Add the *eggs*, *vanilla sugar*, *salt*, and *melted butter* to the yeast mixture. Gradually sift in the *all-purpose flour* and mix until you form a soft dough. The amount of flour may vary slightly.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and place it in a warm area for about *1 hour*, until it doubles in size. The dough will be soft, fluffy, and extremely tender.
Step 3
Roll the dough into a sheet about *1 centimeter (0.5 inch)* thick. You will see the dough bubbling as you roll it out, which is a good sign.
Cut out rounds and a small hole in the center of each round to form the doughnuts.
Step 4
In a large pot, heat a generous amount of vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the doughnuts on both sides until they are golden brown. They cook very quickly.
Once cooked, place the doughnuts on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
Step 5
In a small pan, heat the *heavy cream*. Break the *chocolate* into pieces and stir it into the cream over the heat until the glaze achieves a smooth consistency. Allow it to cool slightly and thicken before dipping the doughnuts.
Step 6
Feel free to use different icings besides the chocolate glaze, such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrup, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy and happy eating!
Servings
These **irresistible donuts** are best served fresh, with a delightful variety of toppings to match your mood 🌟. Beyond the classic chocolate glaze, try dipping them in rich, caramel sauce or a tangy fruit syrup for a unique twist 🌈.
Pair these donuts with a steaming mug of coffee ☕ for your morning pick-me-up or serve them with a chilled glass of milk for a comforting, nostalgic snack 🥛. For a more decadent experience, serve with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh berries 🍓.
Don't forget to mix it up with various garnishes! Sprinkle crushed nuts, colorful sprinkles, or a dash of sea salt on top for a burst of flavor and texture 🎉.
Equipment
A large, deep bowl will help in mixing the ingredients without any mess. Ensure it's big enough to allow the dough to rise.

Use a cookie cutter to shape your donuts. Ensure you have a smaller one or a bottle cap for the central hole.
For even frying, a deep fryer is ideal. If you don't have one, a heavy skillet will also work well. Remember to monitor the oil temperature.

For making the chocolate glaze, a small saucepan ensures even melting and mixing.
Variations
For those seeking a *gluten-free* option, simply replace the regular flour with a high-quality gluten-free blend. Make sure to add a little xanthan gum to maintain that fluffy texture 🍥.
For a **vegan twist** on these classic delights, substitute the milk with your favorite plant-based milk (almond or oat work great!), and use flaxseed eggs in place of regular eggs. Opt for coconut oil or vegan butter instead of traditional butter 🌿.
Faq
- How do I know if my oil is at the right temperature for frying?
A good trick is to drop a small piece of dough into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the top, the oil is ready. Aim for a temperature around 350°F (175°C).
- Can I use a stand mixer for the dough?
Absolutely! A stand mixer can make the kneading process effortless. Use the dough hook attachment for best results.
- How can I ensure my donuts are uniform in size?
Using a round cookie cutter ensures uniformity. For even shapes, gently press the cutter and avoid twisting as you cut the dough.
- What should I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is sticky while kneading, sprinkle in a little more flour. Always add it gradually to avoid making the dough too dry.
- How can I store leftover donuts?
It's best to cover them with a cloth to keep them fresh for a day. To enjoy later, briefly warm them in the oven to regain some of the texture.
- Can the dough be prepared in advance?
Yes, you can prepare it the night before. Just allow it to rise once, then deflate and refrigerate it overnight. Let the dough return to room temperature before shaping and frying.
