Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 envelope (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed to about 110°F
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup mango puree (about 1 large ripe mango)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- Vegetable oil, for frying
How to Make Mango Glazed Donuts
- In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Add the melted butter, eggs, and mango puree to the yeast mixture and stir until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a donut cutter or two round cookie cutters to cut out donut shapes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F. Carefully fry the donuts in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and enough water to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Dunk each warm donut into the mango glaze, letting any excess drip off. Sprinkle the tops with toasted sesame seeds.
- Let the donuts sit for a few minutes to set the glaze before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your yeast is active by checking for frothiness in the warm milk mixture.
- Don’t skip the rising time; it’s essential for fluffy donuts.
- Fry in small batches to avoid lowering the oil temperature too much.
- Experiment with the thickness of your glaze for a thicker or thinner coating.
Easy Variations
- Substitute the mango puree with other fruit purees like strawberry or passion fruit for different flavors.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon to the dough for a warm spice note.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the glaze for a decadent touch.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a light and refreshing side.
- A cup of coffee or tea to complement the sweetness of the donuts.
- Vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert pairing.
