Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and dry yeast.
2
Pour the warm milk into the dry ingredients, then add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3
Mix all the ingredients together, then knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth.
4
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1 cm thickness. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the dough and gently knead them in.
6
Use a glass or doughnut cutter to cut out circles from the dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7
Cover the doughnuts with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
8
In a large pot, heat the oil to about 340°F (170°C). Drop a doughnut into the oil as a test; if it immediately floats to the surface and bubbles gently, the oil is ready.
9
Fry the doughnuts for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
10
Once the doughnuts have cooled slightly, sprinkle them with powdered sugar or prepare a chocolate glaze.
