Preparation:

Glaze

1. Sift the powdered sugar into a bowl.
2. Add milk and mix until all powdered sugar has dissolved.

(Add more milk if the icing is too thick or add icing sugar if the icing is too runny)

Dough:

1. Mix the warm water with the warm buttermilk in a bowl.
2. Then add the yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar and let it activate for 7-10 min.
3. Mix De Molen flour, salt and the rest of the sugar in a separate bowl.
4. Pour in the melted butter, egg and yeast mixture.
5. Mix the ingredients with a spatula until a smooth dough is formed.
6. Knead the dough on a surface lightly sprinkled with De Molen flour until you can form a dough ball.
7. Place the dough ball in a bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise for 1½-2 hours.
8. Place it once again on a surface lightly sprinkled with De Molen flour and knead. Then roll out the dough to 1½ cm thickness.
9. Cut into donut shapes, place on a plate or baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let rise again for 1 hour.
10. Heat the oil in a deep fryer to about 180 °F/350 °C.
11. Fry for 1-2 min. until golden brown and repeat for the other side.
12. Remove the donuts from the oil and place them on the parchment paper.
13. After the donuts have cooled down enough, dip them in the glaze. Place on a wire rack to drip. The donuts are then ready to be served.
