Instructions
- To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment knead together water, milk, egg, sugar, vanilla, butter, Fleischmann’s Quick-Rise Plus Yeast, salt & flour. Continue mixing until the dough is smooth & elastic, about 5 minutes.
- Shape into a ball & let dough rest covered for 45 minutes. Roll into a square, roughly 10 by 10 inches. Cut into 2-inch squares.
- Cover & let donuts rise a second time until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
- To a heavy bottom pot filled halfway with canola oil, heat oil to 350(f) degrees. Carefully drop in donut squares, working in batches of 2 to 3 at a time. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden & cooked throughout.
- Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. To finish dust each donut generously with powdered sugar.
