Ingredients

Wesson Classic Donuts

2% Milk 1 1/2 cups.

Instant or quick rise yeast 3 3/4 tsp.

Granulated sugar 2/3 cup.

Water 1/3 cup.

Wesson Vegetable Oil 6 tbsp.

Eggs 3 .

Salt 1 tsp.

Bread flour 6 Cups.

Wesson Vegetable Oil (for frying) 6 Cups.

Glaze

Water 1/3 cup.

Powdered sugar, sifted (more for desired consistency) 2 cups.

Unsalted butter, melted 2 tbsp.

Method

Donuts

In a small heat-proof bowl, warm milk to 110°F in the microwave, approximately 40 seconds. Milk should be quite warm to the touch but not too hot. Sprinkle yeast over milk and whisk to combine.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with paddle, combine sugar, water, Wesson Vegetable Oil, eggs and salt. Add milk mixture and mix just to combine.

Switching to a dough hook, add flour into the wet mixture and mix on medium speed for 7 to 8 minutes or until dough is smooth. Dough will be a bit sticky!

Remove hook, shape dough into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl at least double the size of your dough ball. Cover bowl with a warm damp tea towel or plastic wrap and place in a warm area until double in size, approximately 45 minutes.

Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll to 1/2” thickness. Using a 3 ½” round cutter dipped in flour, cut donuts without twisting. Place donuts on a parchment lined baking sheet and allow the donuts to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Preheat oil to 360°F in a large heavy bottom pot or deep fryer.

Gently drop donuts 3-4 at a time, into hot oil and fry each side for approximately 2 minutes or until golden. Remove donuts to a paper towel lined baking sheet and allow to cool.

Glaze

Combine all ingredients with whisk. Start with a small amount of water and gradually add more until your desired consistency is reached. Note: for coated donuts, a thicker glaze works best.

Cover surface of glaze with plastic wrap until ready to use.

Assembly Method

Dip tops of donuts into glaze and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Decorate with toasted coconut flakes, sprinkles, or your favorite toppings before the glaze has set. Allow glaze to set.
