Ingredients
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
3/4 cup whole milk, warmed
1/4 cup sugar
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Vegetable oil for frying
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let it sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and the yeast mixture.
3. Add 2 cups of flour, salt, nutmeg, eggs, and melted butter to the milk mixture and mix until smooth.
4. Gradually add more flour until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and is slightly sticky.
5. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
7. Punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness on a floured surface.
8. Cut the dough into donut shapes using a donut cutter or two round cutters of different sizes.
9. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
10. Fry donuts in batches for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
11. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
12. Dip the warm donuts into the glaze and place on a wire rack to set.
