- Add yeast mixture, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until dough forms.
2️⃣ Knead & Rise:
- Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise for 1-2 hours (until doubled in size).
3️⃣ Shape the Doughnuts:

4️⃣ Second Rise:
- Place doughnuts on a tray, cover, and let rise for 30-45 minutes.

- Fry 1-2 minutes per side, flipping once. Drain on a paper towel.
6️⃣ Coat & Serve:
- Dust with powdered sugar or dip in glaze.
