- Place the milk in a medium glass bowl, add the vanilla extract and stir.
- Put 1½ cups of the flour into another deep bowl, add the yeast, salt, cornstarch and sugar and mix. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the warm milk mixed with vanilla.
- Knead the ingredients well by hand, then add the melted butter and continue kneading until you have a soft dough.
- Then add the remaining flour and knead for five minutes.
- Grease a deep bowl with a little butter, place the dough in the bowl, cover it well to prevent air from getting in, and leave it in a warm place for one hour until it rises and doubles in size.
- Sprinkle some flour on a clean work surface, then roll the dough out to about 1 cm thickness.
- Cut the dough using a round cutter or a suitably sized round plate to form the donuts, then cut out the center of each piece using a small cutter to create the hole.
- Repeat until all the dough is used.
- Cover the donuts well and leave them for 30 minutes until they puff up and rise.Timers: 30 min
- Heat the oil and fry the eggless donuts until they turn golden.
- When cooled, decorate them as desired with Nutella, powdered sugar, or any topping you prefer.
