Strawberry Glazed Donuts

Start by heating your milk until it is about 110°F. Add in your instant yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar and allow this to bloom for five minutes. While your yeast is blooming, add your eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, flour, and the rest of your sugar to a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment. Once your yeast has bloomed, add it to your stand mixer along with all other ingredients and mix on medium speed for 5 to 7 minutes until your dough forms. Once your dough has formed, cover it with a clean towel and let it rise for one hour. Once your dough has doubled in size, remove it from the bowl and using a rolling pin roll your dough out until it is a half inch thick. Using a doughnut cutter or a circular cup, cut your donuts and place them on a lined sheet of parchment paper. Allow your donuts to double in size again. Once your donuts have almost doubled in size, grab a large pot and fill it 2 inches with beef tallow or any frying oil. Heat until it is about 350°F. Carefully add your donuts in, frying for one to two minutes on each side. Remove them from the oil and place them on a wire rack with paper towels below. Once your donuts have cooked and slightly cooled, dip them in your icing and they’re ready to be enjoyed!
