Step 1: Activate the yeast

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, pour the warm water over the yeast. Stir then add the sugar. Mix well. Let it stand for 15 minutes.





Step 2: Make the dough

Stir in egg. Then add the butter, milk, flour and salt. Mix until the dough becomes elastic.


Step 3: Let the dough rise

Brush the additional melted butter lightly over the top of the dough. Cover it with waxed paper. Drape a tea towel over the top of the bowl and put it in a warm place to rise for 2 hours. Then refrigerate it overnight. Refrigerating is not necessary but chilling the dough will make it easier to roll out.


Step 4: Let it rise again

When the dough is ready, punch it down in the bowl. Turn it out on a heavily floured board. Take half the dough and roll it to one-half inch thick. Cut it with a floured donut cutter. Put them on a well buttered waxed paper on a cookie sheet. Do the same thing to other half of the dough - put the cookie sheet in a warm place until the donuts double in size. It takes about 1 hour.


Step 5: Fry the donuts

Heat 4 inches of oil for deep frying. the temperature of the oil should be 365 degrees. Regulate heat to keep the temperature steady. Gently remove the donuts with spatula and dump into the hot oil. Turn once until golden. Drain them on paper towels.


Step 6: Add the toppings

While still warm, cover them with granulated sugar or melted chocolate.
