Ingredients

Scale

2¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup sugar
½ tsp salt
⅔ cup whole milk
1 packet instant yeast
⅓ cup melted butter (cooled)
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp cinnamon
2–2½ cups vegetable oil (for frying)
3 tbsp melted butter (for glaze)
1¼ cup powdered sugar (sifted)
2 tbsp milk (for glaze)
2 tsp honey
½ tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In another bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients to form a dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm area for about 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and roll it out into rectangles about ½ inch thick. Sprinkle with cinnamon and roll into logs; cut into pieces.
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the buns until golden brown on both sides.
For the glaze, mix melted butter with powdered sugar, milk, honey, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm buns.
