I N G R E D I E N T S 

1 egg

1/4 c. sugar

1 c. warm milk

1 Tbsp dry yeast

1 tsp salt

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 1/2 - 3 1/2 cups flour

1 stick slightly melted butter

Nutella, jam, or nut butter

Powdered sugar

1 egg beaten for egg wash

D I R E C T I O N S

1. Beat the egg with the sugar. 

2. Add in the milk, yeast, salt and vanilla. 

3. Add 2 cups of flour and then the butter and beat until smooth.

4. Add in another 1/2 c. of the flour. It should be soft and moist but not sticky. If it's too sticky, add more flour.

5. Cover the bowl with a moist towel and let it rise for an hour.

6. Roll the dough out cut into rounds.

7. Place the rounds onto a lined baking sheet and let them rise until they are double their size.

8. Lightly brush the top of the rounds with egg wash.

9. Bake them for 10-12 minutes at about 390 F (200 C).

10. When the donuts are cool enough to handle, use a chopstick and poke a hole through the center of the donut and wiggle it around a little when you feel as if you've reached the middle of the donut. 

11. Fill donut with nutella or any desired jam/nut butter using a pastry piping bag or a cut ziploc baggie.

12. Lightly dust donuts with powdered sugar
