A touch of history:
Donuts have a long history, being a beloved dessert in many cultures around the world. These tender rings, with an airy texture and sweet taste, have been cherished by generations, bringing joy in every bite. Over the years, each region has added its own accents and variations, but the essence remains the same: the desire to savor a delicious dessert made with love.

Step by step for perfect tender rings:

1. Activating the yeast: In a small bowl, mash the fresh yeast with the 2 tablespoons of honey until you get a smooth paste. Add a little flour (about 50 g) and a few tablespoons of warm milk. Gently mix and let the mixture sit in a warm place for about 10-15 minutes, until bubbles form.

2. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, place the remaining flour, then add the risen yeast mixture, the egg, the remaining milk (in which you have dissolved the vanilla sugar), and a pinch of salt. Mix the ingredients with a spatula or a wooden spoon until a dough forms.

3. Kneading: Gradually add the soft butter and oil, continuing to knead. It is essential to obtain a smooth and elastic dough. It should be slightly sticky but not excessive. If it is too wet, you can add a little more flour.

4. Letting it rise: Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm place, away from drafts, for about an hour or until it doubles in volume.

5. Shaping the donuts: Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface until you achieve a thickness of 1-2 cm. Use a large cup to cut out circles and a small glass or bottle cap to create holes in the center. Place the circles on a tray and let them rise for another 15 minutes.

6. Frying: In a deep pan or pot, put enough oil to cover the donuts. Heat the oil to the right temperature (about 180°C). Fry the donuts in batches, for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden. Use a spatula to carefully turn them.

7. Finishing: After frying the donuts, remove them to a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Dust them with powdered sugar on top and enjoy them warm!

Serving suggestions:
These tender rings are delicious served plain, but you can add a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for an even sweeter experience. They are also excellent alongside a cup of coffee or flavored tea, perfect for a relaxing afternoon.

Frequently asked questions:

1. Can I use dry yeast?
Yes, you can use dry yeast, but adjust the amount to about 10 g.

2. How can I keep the donuts fresh?
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. Do not refrigerate them, as they may dry out.

3. What variations can I make?
You can add lemon or orange zest to the dough for an extra flavor boost. You can also fill the donuts with jam, chocolate, or vanilla cream before frying.

4. Are these donuts healthy?
Although donuts are a dessert, they can be enjoyed in moderation. Using natural ingredients, such as honey, contributes to a healthier taste compared to refined sugar.
