In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the frothy yeast mixture, remaining sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir to mix everything.

Gradually add in 2 cups of flour and mix until a dough starts to form. Add more flour as needed until the dough is soft and slightly sticky.

On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it's smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

After rising, punch down the dough and roll it out to about ½ inch thick. Cut out donuts with a donut cutter.

Place the donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them again and let rise for 30 more minutes.

Heat oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 375°F. Fry the donuts in batches for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove donuts with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Dip the warm donuts in the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off.

Enjoy your homemade Krispy Kremes and savor the sweetness!
