First you need to prepare a fluffy yeast dough so that the donuts in milk turn out to be soft, airy. To do this, you must strictly follow the steps of the recipe, alternately adding and mixing the ingredients. It is not necessary to make a dough separately, the recipe provides for the combination of dry yeast with other products.
1) In a large bowl, combine a spoonful of flour with a bag of instant dry yeast, salt and sugar.
2) Pour the dry mixture with slightly warmed milk, stir with a spoon.
3) Pour in about 3 glasses of flour, sometimes a little less or more, pour in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
4) First, knead with a spoon, and then with your hands, an elastic dough that sticks slightly to your fingers. It should not be stiff and tight, like rubber. Cover the bowl with a thin towel, set aside for an hour on the kitchen table to rise.
5) Knead the airy dough with your hands, transfer it to a floured table, knead it so that it stops sticking to your fingers. It will take about half a glass of flour, maybe a little less or more. The main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise the donuts will not be lush, but tough, they will rise poorly when frying.
6) Roll out the dough into a thin layer no more than 2 cm thick. Cut out large circles with a glass or a cup, make holes in a pile inside. You can simply leave the cakes without holes or form small balls.
7) Arrange the finished donuts on a floured cutting board or countertop, leave for another hour. During this time they should rise well.
8) Fry all the donuts in portions in oil in a pan until they become golden brown, slightly crispy on the outside and very soft on the inside. Can be used for home cooking and a deep fryer.
9) Remove each donut from the hot oil with a slotted spoon or fork, spread it out on a napkin so that the excess fat will drain. Transfer to a plate, cool slightly.
When serving, it is recommended to sprinkle donuts with powdered sugar or cinnamon, pastry sprinkles, grease with melted milk or dark chocolate, homemade icing. Such a delicacy will be appreciated by all guests and household members, and they will definitely ask to repeat the recipe in the near future.
