I have never made true donuts before (where you fry them), so this was quite fun to do with my daughter! I found a recipe on Pinterest and modified it slightly based on what I had available! I definitely could have made them thicker when I cut them out but that was my only real feedback to myself!

Dough Ingredients

• 1/3 cup butter
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup milk
• 2/3 cup sourdough discard
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• Oil to fry: 3 quarts with high smoke point

Glaze Ingredients

• 2 TBSP butter
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 TBSP cream

Directions

• In a stand mixer, cream sugar and butter together. Add milk, discard, salt, and eggs. Add flower slowly
• Cover and let dough rise 4-6 hours until almost double
• Mix all glaze ingredients together before rolling out dough
• Lightly flour the counter and roll about 1/4 inch thick. Cut with a donut cutter
• Heat the oil and fry the donuts half dozen at a time
• Transfer to cooling rack (with paper towel underneath)
