butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

Coconut oil is a healthier fat option.

Warm milk to room temperature and pour it into a bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar to the milk; stir well and let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.

Sift 4 cups of all-purpose flour into a mixing bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the flour and mix it in.

In another bowl, combine 1 stick of softened butter and 1/2 cup of sugar using a pastry cutter until well mixed.

Add 1 large egg to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until smooth.

Add the frothy yeast mixture into the flour mixture, creating a well in the flour to incorporate it gently.

Knead the dough for about 8 to 10 minutes until it is smooth and not sticking to the sides of the bowl.

Grease a large bowl and place the dough inside; cover with cling wrap and a warm towel, and let it rise for about an hour until doubled in size.

Once risen, dump the dough onto a floured surface and roll it out to about 3/4 inch thick.

Cut out donut shapes without twisting the cutter to avoid sealing the edges.

Heat oil in a deep fryer and fry the donuts until golden brown.

Remove the donuts and drain them on paper towels.
