Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.
2
Add the warm milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Begin to combine the dough.
3
Melt the butter and gradually add it to the dough while kneading continuously until you have a smooth, elastic dough.
4
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel 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 1.5 cm (approximately 1/2 inch) thick. Use a large cookie cutter or glass to cut out circles.
6
In a deep pot, heat the oil to 350°F (180°C). Test the oil temperature with a small piece of dough – if it rises immediately to the top and gently fries, the oil is ready.
7
Fry the doughnuts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pot to prevent the oil temperature from dropping.
8
Remove the fried doughnuts and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Let them cool completely.
9
In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and maple syrup until a thick glaze forms.
10
Dip the tops of the cooled doughnuts into the maple syrup glaze, then let them set for a few minutes.
11
Serve fresh and enjoy the heavenly taste of soft, maple-glazed doughnuts!
