Sugar-Glazed Doughnuts

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine buttermilk, oil and egg yolks.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer using the dough hook, combine flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Add liquids and stir until dough forms into a ball, about 3 minutes. On a floured work surface, knead for 2 minutes or until smooth. Place in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise for 1 hour in a warm and humid place (see note).

3. 3

   On a floured work surface, cut dough in half. Roll out dough, one piece at a time, onto an 8 to 10-mm (1/2-inch) thick sheet. Cut doughnuts with a 7.5-cm (3-inch) round cookie cutter, and then cut out holes with a 2-cm (3/4-inch) small round cutter. Reuse scraps. Place on a floured baking sheet. Cover with a dry cloth and let rise for 30 to 45 minutes in a warm and humid place or until doubled in size.
