Directions:Step 1: (mixing the dough)
In the bowl of a standing mixer, pour warm milk, sugar and yeast. Let stand until yeast starts to foam. About 10 minutes. Attach dough hook to mixer while yeast is activating. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add flour mixture, butter and egg yolks to the yeast mixture and beat on medium speed until it comes together and forms a ball. Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise in warm place for 1 hour.
Step 2: ( cutting out the donuts)
Spray a sheet tray with Pam* and set aside. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll out to a 1/2" thickness. Using a donut cutter or drinking glass cut out the donuts and transfer them to the baking sheet. Spray the tops of the donuts and holes and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand in a warm place until they have doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
Step 3: (frying)
Heat oil to 350 degrees. Fry the donuts until lightly browned about 1 minute on each side. Transfer to paper towel lined baking sheet, let cool 10 minutes before glazing.
Step 4: (glazing)
In a large bowl using a hand mixer or whisk, mix all ingredients together. Mixture should be thin. Keep glaze warm until ready to use. Dip the donuts, then dip into your favorite sprinkles if desired.
