CRISPY AND CREAMY DOUGHNUTS
Steps:
- 1. Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water, and let stand for 5 minutes, or until foamy. 2. In a large bowl, mix together the yeast mixture, milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening, and 2 cups of the flour. Mix for a few minutes at low speed, or stirring with a wooden spoon. Beat in remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough no longer sticks to the bowl. Knead for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough into a greased bowl, and cover. Set in a warm place to rise until double. Dough is ready if you touch it, and the indention remains. 3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and gently roll out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a floured doughnut cutter. Let doughnuts sit out to rise again until double. Cover loosely with a cloth. 4. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Remove from heat, and stir in hot water one tablespoon at a time until the icing is somewhat thin, but not watery. Set aside. 5. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slide doughnuts into the hot oil using a wide spatula. Turn doughnuts over as they rise to the surface. Fry doughnuts on each side until golden brown. Remove from hot oil, to drain on a wire rack. Dip doughnuts into the glaze while still hot, and set onto wire racks to drain off excess. Keep a cookie sheet or tray under racks for easier clean up.

a-s51@yahoo.comI'm allergic to eggs, so I wasn't able to make this recipe. I'm disappointed because these doughnuts look delicious.

gaige83@hotmail.comThese doughnuts are way too expensive. I can get a dozen doughnuts at the grocery store for half the price.

x.t@hotmail.comI followed the recipe exactly, but my doughnuts didn't turn out right. They're too dense and they don't have a crispy exterior.

mreamabomokh@gmail.comThese doughnuts are a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try frying them for a shorter amount of time next time.

jody.oreilly94@yahoo.comThe glaze is a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's easily fixed. I'll just use less sugar next time.
