Ingredients:

• 2 ¼ tsps active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm milk
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp ground nutmeg
• ⅓ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• vegetable oil for frying

Sugar Coating:

• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions:

• In the mixing bowl of your Kitchenin KM50 Stand Mixer, combine warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

• Attach the dough hook to your stand mixer. Add flour, salt, nutmeg, softened butter, and eggs to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed until a dough forms.

• Increase the speed to medium and knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

• Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.

• Roll out the dough on a floured surface to ½-inch thickness. Use a donut cutter to cut out donut shapes. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

• Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep pan to 350°F. Fry the donuts for 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

• In a bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. While the donuts are still warm, coat them in the sugar mixture.

• Serve and indulge in the delightful, homemade goodness of your sugar donuts. Enjoy!
