Method
Whisk the flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar and salt together in a bowl.
Add the warm whole milk, eggs and softened butter, then bring together into a soft dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, then place in a greased bowl, cover and leave to rise until doubled in size.
Roll the risen dough out to 1.5cm thick and cut into rings, then place on a floured tray, cover and leave to rise again until puffy.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot to 175°C, checking the temperature with a meat thermometer.
Fry the doughnuts in batches until golden on both sides.
Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack while you make the glaze.
Whisk the icing sugar, milk and vanilla extract together until smooth, then dip the warm doughnuts into the glaze.
