How to make homemade twist Donuts?

Yes, I know this is not a BBQ recipe. But I know everyone loves a yummy fresh donut. Especially after enjoying a good BBQ meal.

Homemade twisted donuts are a delicious treat that you can easily make in your own kitchen. Here’s a recipe to get you started:

Ingredients:

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes on a floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough, and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle that is about 1/2 inch thick.
  7. Cut the dough into strips that are about 1 inch wide and 4 inches long.
  8. Take each strip and twist it in the middle to form a twisted shape.
  9. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer until it reaches 350°F.
  10. Carefully place a few twisted donuts in the hot oil at a time, and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  11. Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon, and place them on a wire rack to cool.
  12. Once the donuts are cool, dust them with powdered sugar and serve.
