Make the Dough:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
Add warm milk, egg, butter, and vanilla extract.
Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
2. Let It Rise:
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
3. Shape the Twists:
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a rope (about 8 inches long) and twist each into a spiral shape—like a rope folded in half, then twisted.
Place shaped donuts on a parchment-lined tray, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
4. Fry to Perfection:
Heat oil in a deep pan to 340–350°F (170–175°C).
Carefully fry donuts in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and puffed.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. Finish and Serve:
While still warm, roll in granulated sugar or dip in your favorite glaze.
Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor!
