Preparation
Step 1
Melt the butter. Put all the liquid ingredients into a bowl: milk, melted butter, and eggs. Stir everything together.
Step 2
Add the sugar, a pinch of salt, dry yeast, vanilla, and flour in 2 additions. Mix all the ingredients with a spoon, then place the dough on the table and knead it thoroughly.
Step 3
After that, cover the bowl with the dough with plastic wrap and leave it for 1 hour so it can rise.
Step 4
After that time, roll out the dough to a thickness of up to 1 cm, about 3/8 inch.
Step 5
Using a pastry ring or any round cutter, cut out circles. Then use a piping tip to cut out the centers.
Step 6
Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat it only slightly. Put the donuts into the pan and wait until they turn golden on 1 side. The oil will not sizzle strongly, but that is correct. This is how you get the white ring in the middle of the donut. Turn them over and continue frying. On the other side, the donut will brown faster.
Step 7
Place the finished donuts on a plate lined with paper towels so the remaining fat can drain off. Leave the donuts until they cool completely.
Step 8
To make the glaze for the donuts, use white chocolate and sour cream. Chop the chocolate. Place it over a double boiler and stir until the chocolate melts completely. You can also melt it in the microwave. Add food coloring in the color you want and mix. The glaze is ready.
Step 9
Dip half of each donut into the chocolate and decorate the donuts with pastry sprinkles. Decorate all the donuts this way. The chocolate-glazed donuts are ready!
