In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Mix the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, eggs, melted butter, and salt. Add the activated yeast. Mix well.
Gradually add the flour until a soft dough forms.
Knead and Rise:
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled.
Shape the Doughnuts:
Roll out the dough to about ½ inch (1.2 cm) thick. Cut out doughnuts with a doughnut cutter or use a round cutter and a smaller cutter for the hole.
Place on parchment paper and let rise again for 30 minutes.
Fry the Doughnuts:
Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry doughnuts in batches until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels.
Make the Glaze:
In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Glaze the Doughnuts:
While still warm, dip each doughnut into the glaze, then place on a rack to set.
