Preparation

Step 1

This recipe makes 3 baker's dozen donuts (that's 39!). You can scale it down - or up - as you need!

Donuts

3 (1/4 ounce / 7g) packages yeast (3/4 oz / 21g total) - I used "Rapid Rise" but traditional is fine too - it just affects the rising times

1/2 cup (120ml) water (105-115F / 40-46C)

2 1/4 cups (530ml) milk, scalded, then cooled

3/4 cup (169g) sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

3 eggs

1/2 cup (113g) shortening

7 1/2 cups (940g) all-purpose flour

canola oil for frying

Glaze

1/2 cup (113g) butter

3 cups (375g) powdered sugar

2 1/4 teaspoons vanilla

6 -9 tablespoons (90-135ml) evaporated milk (can substitute regular milk or water for milder flavor)
