How to Make Bread Machine Yeast Donuts:

Place all of the ingredients into the bread machine pan in the order listed.

Program your bread machine to the dough cycle or follow the manufacturer’s instructions for making dough.

Once the dough cycle is complete, punch the dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface.

Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to ½ inch thickness.

Using round cookie cutters in two sizes as shown, cut the dough into circles and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet at least 1 inch apart.

Knead any scrap pieces of dough into a mound of dough and continue rolling out and cutting the doughnuts until all of the dough is used.

Cover the doughnuts with a kitchen towel and place in a draft-free area for 30 minutes to 1 hour or until the doughnuts have doubled in size.

Heat oil in a dutch oven, deep fryer or deep pan between 350 and 375 degrees F.

Carefully lift the doughnuts from the parchment paper using a wire spatula and place in oil 3-4 at a time. Do not crowd the oil.

Cook until golden brown or about 1 minute per side.

Remove fried doughnuts and place on a wire cooling rack or onto paper towels.

For the glaze:
Mix all ingredients together until smooth.

Add additional evaporated milk if a thinner consistency is desired.

Dip the doughnut into the glaze on both sides. Place on a wire rack.

Allow the glaze to run over the doughnut. Add sprinkles if desired.
