The browned butter maple glazed donut is a twice glazed donut. First the donut is completely dunked in a traditional vanilla glaze. Then the donut is dipped face down in the maple glaze covering the entire top of the donut. This results in perhaps one of the best maple donuts known to man.
Donuts
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 packages active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup lard
- 2 eggs
Glaze
- 1 Tbsp warm water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup powder sugar sifted
Browned Butter Maple Glaze
- 4 Tbsp salted butter
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Donut Instructions
- Soak yeast in 1/2 cup warm water for five minutes, add a tsp of sugar to kickstart it, set aside.
- Melt 1/3 cup lard in 3/4 cup milk at 180 degrees.
- Pour milk over 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp salt.
- Combine 1 cup of flour, 2 eggs, and 2 packages of active dry yeast. Beat until smooth. Add remaining flour to make a soft dough that doesn’t stick to the side of the bowl.
- Knead until dough becomes smooth and elastic. Place in lightly greased bowl. Grease top of dough and cover with waxed paper. Allow to rise in warm place (80-85) until doubled (30-60 minutes).
- Roll out dough to 1/2 inch thickness and cut out donuts and donut holes.
- Let rise on the board until very light (40-60 minutes)
- Drop into deep hot lard (325-350) and turn when doughnuts are just barely brown. Turn once again when browned sufficiently.
- Drain on absorbent paper. While still warm, dip in delicious glaze and enjoy.
