Instructions:

In a large bowl, mix the warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir and let it rest for 5-10 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.

Add the remaining sugar, eggs, melted butter, salt, and nutmeg to the yeast mixture. Gradually add the flour, stirring to form a sticky dough. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Roll out the dough to 1/2-inch thickness on a floured surface. Use a doughnut cutter to cut out doughnuts and holes.
05 -
Place the doughnuts on a parchment-lined tray and let rise for 30 minutes until puffy.

Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the doughnuts in batches for about 1 minute per side, until golden. Drain on a wire rack.

For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, 1/3 cup milk, and vanilla extract. Dip each warm doughnut into the glaze, then place back on the rack to set.

Enjoy the doughnuts fresh for the best flavor and texture.
