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.
