Baked Doughnuts

• 1/4 cups butter
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
• 1/2 cup sugar
• Pinch None salt
• 0.25 oz packet dried yeast
• 1 egg beaten, plus 1 egg white
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups powdered sugar, plus extra for dusting

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in the milk, then remove from the heat.
2. Place the flour, sugar, salt and yeast in a bowl. Add the beaten egg, vanilla extract and butter mixture. Mix the ingredients using the dough hook of a stand mixer.
3. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and leave in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours to rise.
4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface. Divide into 10 large and 10 smaller pieces. Roll into a cylinder shape, then bend to create rings, securing the ends with a little water.
5. Place the rings on two separate greased sheet trays, cover with clean towels. Leave to rise in a warm place for 20 mins. Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F. Bake for 15-20 mins (place the smaller rings on the lower shelf). Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. To make the icing, whisk the powdered sugar and egg whites until smooth. If the icing is too thick, add a little water. Divide the icing into 3 bowls, leave one bowl white, and dye the remaining two bowls pink and blue. Use to decorate the doughnuts. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
