Preparation Steps
1
Warm the milk slightly, crumble in the yeast, add a teaspoon of sugar, and let it stand for 10 minutes until frothy.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour, the remaining sugar, and salt.
3
Pour in the proofed yeast, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, then begin to knead the dough.
4
Knead the dough thoroughly for 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If necessary, add a little more flour or milk to achieve the right consistency.
5
Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1 cm thickness, then use a glass or doughnut cutter to cut out circles.
7
Let the doughnuts rise for another 30 minutes to make them even lighter during frying.
8
In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat the oil to 340-355°F (170-180°C). Fry only a few doughnuts at a time to keep the oil temperature stable.
9
Fry the doughnuts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
10
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the brown sugar with the water, stirring constantly until it turns into a golden brown caramel.
11
Dip one side of the doughnuts into the hot caramel, then let them set on a wire rack to harden.
12
Serve fresh, so the crunchy caramel and the soft doughnut are in perfect harmony.
