Home made donut ( deep fry)

My son loves to eat donut. Sometimes store bought donut is a bit too sweet with so much icing on it. So i try to make it at home. It turns out great...the only thing is the donut does not taste as good if you let it out overnight. It is soft and tasty if you eat it right away!

Look how it turned out!

This is the donut cutter that i used. You can find it at ebay or bed bath and beyond.

Recipe:
14oz active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1.5 cup warm milk
1/2 cup white sugar ( adjust accordingly if you have a sweet tooth)

5 cup all purpose flour
