Preparation Steps

• Warm the milk until it's just hot to the touch, then sprinkle the yeast over it.
• Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and melted butter.
• Pour in the yeast mixture and mix until well combined.
• Gradually stir in the flour and salt until a dough forms.
• Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Once risen, roll out the dough and cut out donut shapes.
• Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375°F and fry the donuts until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
• In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, cream, and butter to make the caramel glaze. Heat until dissolved, then stir in vanilla.
• Dip the warm donuts in the caramel glaze and let them cool on a wire rack.
