Dutch doughnuts
These Dutch doughnuts are a simple, yeast-risen batter that fries up into light, golden spheres. They come together quickly, with most of the time spent allowing the batter to rise. The trick to getting them perfectly round is to use two spoons or an ice cream scoop, dipping them in hot oil first for an easy release. Serve them warm, perhaps with a dusting of powdered sugar.

Mix the Batter
Place the flour in a large bowl, then stir in the instant yeast and granulated sugar. If your milk is cold, warm it until it's just lukewarm.
Gradually whisk the milk into the flour mixture until you have a smooth batter. Add the salt and mix with a wooden spoon until the batter is truly smooth and liquidy.

Let the Batter Rise
Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and leave it in a warm spot for about an hour, or until the batter has visibly risen.
