Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz/240 ml) lukewarm water
  • ½ cup (4 oz/115 g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (2 oz/57 g) butter, softened
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1¼ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3½ cups (17½ oz/497 g) bread flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Oil, for frying
  • 2 cups (8 oz/230 g) powdered sugar
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon maple extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine lukewarm water, granulated sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add softened butter, egg yolks, salt, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture and mix well.
  3. Gradually add bread flour and baking powder, mixing until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Once risen, roll out the dough to about ½ inch thick and cut into bar shapes.
  7. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C) and fry the donuts until golden brown on both sides.
  8. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
  9. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, melted butter, and maple extract until smooth.
  10. Dunk the warm donuts in the glaze and let them set on a wire rack.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil is at the right temperature to avoid greasy donuts.
  • Store leftover donuts in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Feel free to adjust the maple extract to taste for a stronger maple flavor.
