Ingredients

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

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and a pinch of sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Create a well in the center.
Pour the activated yeast mixture into the well. Add melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle. Cut strips of dough and twist them into ribbon shapes.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the twisted dough until golden brown on both sides. Ensure the inside is cooked by testing one doughnut first.
Remove the fried doughnuts and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Dust the warm doughnuts with powdered sugar.
Enjoy the twisted ribbon doughnuts while they are still warm and fresh. Serve with your favorite hot beverage.
