Step 1 of 9
To the bowl of a stand mixer, add the warm water, yeast and 2 tsp of sugar. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
Step 2 of 9
Add the evaporated milk, butter, eggs, the rest of the sugar and vanilla and use the whisk attachment to combine.
Step 3 of 9
Switch to the dough hook. Mix the flour and salt together then add to the liquids in stages until a soft and sticky dough has formed. Knead for another 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky.
Step 4 of 9
Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with cling film. Leave to rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
Step 5 of 9
Once risen, punch down and roll the dough out to about ½ inch thick. Cut out round shapes using a cutter and use a smaller cutter to cut out the middle.
Step 6 of 9
Place on a floured tray and leave to rise again for another 3-40 minutes until the dough has risen again.
Step 7 of 9
Add the oil to a large saucepan and heat to 185c. Carefully lower 2-3 donuts into the oil at a time and fry each side for about a minute until golden brown.
Step 8 of 9
Remove from the oil and place on some kitchen roll to remove excess oil. Place on a cooling rack whilst you repeat the cooking process with the rest of the donuts.
Step 9 of 9
Serve warm and enjoy with the Carnation Pistachio Flavoured Drizzle as a dipping sauce.
