Baked Doughnuts Recipe

Pretty simple doughnuts recipe.You can choose to bake or fry, the taste and texture will be slightly different but still very-very tasty ,moist ,fluffy and the best part it will be homemade without any preservatives .My kids love these
I’ve tried quite a few different doughnuts recipes and came up with this one,after making a few tests.

¼ Cup lukewarm water

3 ½ – 4 Cups all purpose flour

⅓ Cup granulated sugar

1 Tsp kosher salt

1 Large egg ,beaten, at room temperature

2 Tbs all vegetable shortening melted (can be substituted by vegetable oil)

1 Cup of milk (I use full fat milk  but 2% will work as well)

2-3 Tbs vegetable oil for brushing the tops

For sugar glaze :

1 ½ Cups confectioners sugar (also known as powdered sugar )

2 Tbs unsalted butter +1 Tsp vanilla extract 3-5 tbs hot water ,or as needed
