Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 0.75 cup Low-fat milk
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0 Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine 0.75 cup low-fat milk, 0.25 cup water, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Heat over low heat until the mixture is warm and the butter is melted. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
Add the warm milk mixture to the flour mixture. Add 1 large egg and beat until a soft dough forms.
Step 4
Gradually add the remaining 0.5 cup of flour and knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Lightly coat a bowl with nonstick cooking spray. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to grease the top. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 2 hours.
Step 6
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a doughnut cutter.
Step 7
Place the doughnuts on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, cover, and let rise again for about 30 minutes.
Step 8
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 9
Bake the doughnuts for 8-10 minutes or until they are just lightly browned. Avoid overbaking to keep them soft.
Step 10
For the glaze, mix 1.5 cups powdered sugar, 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons water until smooth.
Step 11
Dip the warm doughnuts into the glaze, ensuring each one is completely covered, and place on a rack to set.
Step 12
Serve the doughnuts warm and enjoy the low-fat treat!
