My family’s favorite donuts, taste very good
Put the flour (warmed) into a yeast dough bowl and mix well with the yeast. Heat all ingredients (hand-warm), mix the melted butter with the lukewarm milk and add to the yeast dough bowl with the other ingredients and mix well (beat). If the dough is too firm, add a little more milk to form a soft dough and beat again. Close the bowl and place it in warm water to let it air out. As soon as the lid has cracked, beat the dough briefly, close the bowl, let it air out and place it back in warm water. You can repeat this process one or two more times. When the dough has risen enough, it can be processed further. Place the dough on a floured pastry board (warmed) and cover with a tea towel. Cut out dough with a round biscuit cutter and roll it into a ball. Cover and let it rise for a while. Heat oil in a large pan (the pan should be half full) to approximately 170 degrees Celsius. Stretch the doughnuts out from the center, leaving a thick edge, and place them in the pan with the bottom facing up. Cover, bake until golden brown, turn over, and finish baking uncovered. Remove from the pan, let drain, and sprinkle with powdered sugar. You can also add currant or apricot jam to the center!
