Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cup Almond milk (or other dairy-free milk)
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Vegan butter, room temperature
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 6 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of flour, the instant yeast, and sugar.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk until it's warm to the touch but not hot, about 110°F. Pour the warmed milk into the flour mixture and stir to combine.

Step 3

Add the salt, vegan butter, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.

Step 4

Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour, kneading the dough in the bowl until it becomes smooth and elastic. The dough should be slightly sticky but not overly so.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes.

Step 6

Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness.

Step 7

Using a doughnut cutter or two different-sized round cutters, cut out as many doughnuts as possible.

Step 8

Place the cut doughnuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rest for an additional 15-20 minutes.

Step 9

Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F.

Step 10

Carefully place a few doughnuts at a time into the hot oil, frying each side for about 1 minute or until golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the doughnuts with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.

Step 12

To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and water in a medium-sized bowl until smooth.

Step 13

While the doughnuts are still warm, dip the tops into the glaze and return them to the wire rack. Allow the glaze to set slightly before serving.
