- 1 large Egg
- 30 g Unsalted Butter (Unsalted, Softened)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Vegetable Oil (For Frying)

- 100 g Dark Chocolate (Chopped)
- 30 g Butter (Unsalted)
- 2 tbsp Icing Sugar
- 2 tbsp Milk (Whole)
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, caster sugar, instant yeast, and a pinch of salt.
- 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the lukewarm milk, egg, softened butter, and vanilla extract.
- 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- 4
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- 5
Place the dough back in the mixing bowl, cover with a clean tea towel, and let it proof in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
- 6
After the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1 cm thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out donut shapes.
- 7
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 180°C (use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature).
- 8
Carefully place the doughnuts into the hot oil, frying for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and puffed up.
- 9
Remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil.
- 10
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the chopped dark chocolate and unsalted butter together until smooth.
- 11
You can do this in the microwave by heating in short bursts and stirring in between until fully melted. Alternatively, use a double boiler on the stovetop.
- 12
Once the chocolate and butter are melted, remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar, whole milk, and vanilla extract until the glaze is smooth and well combined.
- 13
If the glaze is too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency. If it's too thin, you can add more powdered sugar.
- 14
Allow the chocolate glaze to cool slightly, but make sure it remains in a liquid state for dipping the donuts.
- 15
Dip each warm doughnut into the prepared chocolate glaze, coating one side or the top as desired. You can dip them halfway or fully, depending on your preference.
- 16
Place the glazed doughnuts on a wire rack or a parchment-lined tray to allow any excess glaze to drip off.
- 17
Sprinkle them generously with colourful sprinkles.
- 18
Serve your delicious sprinkle doughnuts immediately.
