Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup warm water (110 degrees)
  • 2 packets active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 5 TBSP butter
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 5 cups all purpose flour
  • oil for frying
  • 2 cups confectioners sugar
  • 1/2 tsp strawberry extract
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2-3 TBSP milk
  • rainbow sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, or stand mixer bowl, add warm water, and sprinkle yeast on top. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Heat the milk and butter to about 110 degrees, or until butter is melted. Add to yeast mixture. Add in the sugar, salt, and eggs. Mix until combined.
  • Add in half the flour, and combine using a dough hook. Add remaining flour. Knead with dough hook for about 5 minutes, until the dough comes clean from the sides of the bowl. If needed, add more flour, 1/2 cup at a time.
  • Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • Dump the dough out onto a floured surface. Roll into 1/2 inch thickness. Cut the donuts out with a cookie cutter or large glass. Cut a slit in the center and form a hole. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover, and let rise an additional 30 minutes.
  • Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350 degrees. Fry donuts, 2 or 3 at a time, for about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack, and cool for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze by combining the confectioners sugar, extracts, food dye, and milk. Start with 2 TBSP. You want the glaze to be thick enough to coat the donut. Add sprinkles on top.
