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, remaining sugar, and salt.
3
Pour in the proofed yeast mixture, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Start kneading the dough.
4
Knead the dough thoroughly for 10 minutes until it becomes 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 it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1 cm (approximately 1/2 inch) thickness. 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 pot, heat the oil to 340-355°F (170-180°C). Fry only a few doughnuts at a time to maintain a stable oil temperature.
9
Fry the doughnuts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove them and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
10
Gently warm the maple syrup, then dip the doughnuts into it to coat them evenly.
11
Dust the tops of the doughnuts with powdered sugar for the perfect finishing touch.
12
Serve fresh, allowing the sweet taste of maple syrup and the softness of the doughnut to shine in perfect harmony.
