No hot light near you...?? Well....I'VE got the secret!!!
3 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon+1/4 cup of sugar (separated)
1 cup of milk (scalded. Heat quickly until boiling and remove. Let cool slightly)
1 pack of dry active yeast
1/4 cup water (105*-110*!!)
1 egg+1 teaspoon of salt (beaten together)
Flour 1 1/2 cups+3 cups (separated)
While your milk is cooling (see ingredients list), pour the yeast into the tempered water, and stir.
Dissolve 7-8 minutes.
Pour the yeast mixture into the milk along with 1 1/2 of flour and 1 Tablespoon of sugar. Mix until smooth and let it rest in a warm place until doubled, about an hour.
Usually the "warm place" would be a proof box. From home i chose to cover my dough with a towel and leave it in the car.
Cream the butter and 1/4 cup of sugar together.
Once the starter dough has relaxed, beat the cream mix into a little at a time.
Add the egg and salt mixture, then the flour and mix and knead until the dough is soft and smooth and workable...

In a greased bowl turn the dough over and cover with a towel and let it proof again at least another hour.
Lay the soft finished dough on a floured surface and gently press with your HANDS (NOT your fingers) until the dough is about 1/2 inch thick.
I don't have a donut cutter but i do have cookie cutters.
To make a hole on the inside you can also use a pop bottle cap or similar!
Deep fry in vegetable oil turning as needed.
The glaze is simply 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 Tablespoons of milk, give or take until desired consistency is reached.
Glaze while warm!!!
Looks like I just left the donut shop but guess what...I made these all in my own kitchen and you can too!!!
