Ingredients

  • ½ cup Butter
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • Tbs Yeast (or 2 packets)
  • 2 cups water (110°)
  • 7½-8 cups Flour

Frosting

  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tbs Milk
  • 2 Tbs Vanilla extract
  • Crushed Oreos

Instructions 

  • Sprinkle yeast over warm water (110 degrees, about 50 sec in the microwave) and let the yeast activate for 5 minutes.
  • Cream butter and sugar. Then add the eggs and salt.
  • Add the activated yeast and flour into the creamed butter mixture. Knead with dough attachment in a stand mixer, or on the counter until the dough is smooth
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, and let it rise until it has doubled, about an hour.
  • Once the dough has risen, roll out into a ½ inch thick sheet. Cut into rectangle shapes or use a cookie cutter to make traditional donut shapes.
  • Let the cut dough rise for another hour.
  • After the dough has risen for a second time, fry in oil. Use a candy theremometer to make sure the oil stays at or around 375 degrees. Fry for 1 minute, then flip over the donut and fry for 1 more minute.
  • Remove the doughnut from the oil, onto a cooling rack and paper towel to remove excess grease.
  • Allow the donuts to cool before frosting.

Frosting

  • Mix the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk in a bowl. Crush oreos into a seperate bowl.
  • Add the frosting into a shallow bowl and dip and swirl the top of the cooled donuts into the frosting, quickly sprinkle crushed Oreos on top!
