This picture was right side up once.....
SPEEDY DONUTS
1/2 c. warm water, but not too warm
2 T. dry yeast
pinch of sugar
1 c. scalded, milk
1/2 c. shortening
2 eggs
1/4 c. sugar
2 t. salt
4 1/2 c. flour
oil for frying, at least 1" deep
Glaze
3 T. water
2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 to 1 t. vanilla
In 1 cup measure place warm water, yeast and a few grains of sugar. Set aside and allow the yeast to work. Scald the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until the milk starts to bubble around the outer edge next to the pan and a skin starts to form (do not boil). Then remove from heat and add the shortening. Stir until melted. Set aside. Place in mixing bowl: eggs, sugar, salt, & flour. Pour yeast mixture over and mix slightly. Then add the scalded milk mixture. Beat well until dough is smooth and elastic. (Add more flour only if very sticky) Let dough rise about 30 minutes. Roll out dough about 1/2" to 3/4" thick and cut with doughnut cutter and place on cookie sheet. Allow to rise again (can place in warm oven to speed this up - heat to 200° and then turn oven OFF). Preheat oil in electric frying pan to 375°. Fry doughnuts until golden brown on each side. Place on paper towels on cooling rack to cool. Make glaze by mixing together water, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Add more water or powdered sugar to reach desired consistency - not too thin - not too thick. While still slightly warm glaze the doughnuts on both sides. (I usually use a pastry brush for this) Return to cooling rack until glaze is set. Serve.
These are best when fresh!! Leftovers can be reheated the next day in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Makes about 2 dozen.
