Anyway I followed the directions to the T and watched the video several times and the dough didn’t rise at all. I’m thinking somewhere during this process there was a “common sense” thing that most people familiar with dough would have known but I obviously didn’t. After a proper mixing, the dough is chilled for one hour, rolled out and round cutters are used to shape the doughnuts.
Once a boil starts turn off the heat and remove the pan from the stove. Cold foam iced coffees are all the rage. The thick, sweet layer of cream is the perfect complement to the smooth, rich cold-brew coffee.
How to Make Yeast Doughnuts
Add food coloring to the white glaze if desired. Ease a donut into the heated oil with a long-handle slotted spoon, taking care not to let the oil spatter. Fry the donuts, two or three at a time, in the oil 2 to 3 minutes or until they are golden brown, turning once. For a chocolate glaze, combine 2/3 cups of confectioner's sugar with 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and 3 tablespoons heavy cream. Lay the donuts onto a lightly floured baking sheet, cover with a damp tea towel, and leave to rise for 30 minutes.
Combine milk and vanilla in a medium saucepan and heat over low heat until warm. Sift confectioners' sugar into milk mixture. Whisk slowly, until well combined.

Ingredients:
A deep-fryer set at 370F fries the doughnuts until they are cooked. Add the eggs, butter, vanilla, salt, nutmeg, and 2 cups of flour. Add the flour gradually while mixing everything until it creates a clay-like texture. If the mixture is too dry, add just a little milk. While the donuts cool, mix up the white and chocolate glazes. Add the ingredients for each glaze into separate bowls and whisk to combine.
Use a floured 2½-inch donut cutter to cut the dough into classic rings. Dip the cutter into flour between cuts to prevent the dough from sticking to the cutter. Each cut should produce one donut and one donut hole. For a simple glaze, mix 1 cup of confectioner's sugar with 3 tablespoons heavy cream and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Remove excess oil from fried pastries with paper towels.
Whisk together the light brown sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Here’s a greatrecipe for cold brew coffeeif you don’t already know how to make it. Don’t have the time for cold brewing coffee? You can use any cold coffee for this recipe, but cold-brewed coffee is noticeably less acidic than ordinary iced coffee.
Roughly shape the dough into a large, 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Cut out your doughnut shapes with a floured 2-1/2-inch doughnut cutter and place the doughnuts on a greased baking sheet. Cover the baking sheets with a towel and let the doughnuts rise for 45 minutes. Carefully ease the doughnuts into the hot oil with your slotted metal spoon.
No yeast, rolling or magic required. You can transfer the doughnuts using a pair of chopsticks or with a flat spatula. Fry until puffed and golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Use tongs or chopsticks to remove the doughnuts from the hot oil, hold them over the pot for a minute to drain off excess oil, then place on the rack.
