Indulge in the sweet delight of homemade maple glazed doughnuts, perfect for a weekend treat or a special breakfast. Begin by preparing the dough: in a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and a pinch of salt. Once mixed, gradually add warm milk, melted butter, and an egg, kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic. Allow it to rise until doubled in size, then roll it out and cut into your desired shapes.

While the doughnuts are frying to a golden brown, whip up a luscious maple glaze using icing sugar, a splash of maple syrup, and a dash of milk until smooth. Once the doughnuts are cooled slightly, dip them into the glaze, letting it drip and set to create a glossy finish. Sprinkle with a touch of sea salt for that perfect balance of sweetness. These doughnuts are best enjoyed fresh, with a steaming cup of tea or coffee—an irresistible combination!
