Ingredients:
– 1 cup warm milk
– 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 1/3 cup melted butter
– 2 large eggs
– 4 cups flour
– 1/2 tsp salt
– Oil for frying

For the glaze:
– 2 cups powdered sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 4-6 tbsp milk

Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the warm milk, yeast, and a tablespoon of sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture is foamy.
2. Add the melted butter, eggs, remaining sugar, flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise for about an hour until it has doubled in size.
4. Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the dough into long john shapes using a knife or cookie cutter.
5. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350 degrees F. Carefully add the donuts to the hot oil, frying for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
6. Remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk to make the glaze. Dip each donut into the glaze and let it set on a wire rack.
8. Enjoy your homemade long john donuts with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a delicious breakfast or dessert treat.
