Prep Time : 30 minutes
Cook Time : 15 minutes
Inactive Time : 2 hours
Total Time : 2 hours 45 minutes
Yield : 3 dozen


INGREDIENTS

• 1 and 1/2 cups warm water, between 110 and 115 degrees (F)
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 and 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature 
• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 2 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 7 cups bread flour
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 4 cups peanut oil, for deep frying
• 2 cups confectioners’ sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a medium-size bowl, add the warm water, sugar, and yeast and whisk well to combine. Sit aside for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture has bubbled up and become foamy.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment,  beat the eggs until smooth. Beat in the vanilla and evaporated milk. Beat in 3 and 1/2 cups of the flour until smooth. Turn the mixer to low speed and slowly pour in the yeast mixture (careful here - this mixture can splash up if added to quickly!); beat until smooth. Add in the butter and beat until incorporated. Finally, beat in the remaining 3 and 1/2 cups of flour and salt. Beat until dough is smooth and cohesive; about 2 minutes. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
