Preparation

Step 1

Dissolve yeast in warm water in mixing bowl. Add milk, sugar, salt, egg,
shortening and 1 cup of flour. Beat on low speed while scraping bowl for
30 seconds. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 2 minutes.
Stir in remaining flour until smooth. Cover and let rise in warm place
until double, about 50−60 minutes.

Turn dough onto floured surface. Roll dough 1/2− inch thick. Cut with round cookie cutter. Cover and let rise on floured baking sheets until double, 30−40 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in deep fryer or Dutch oven to 350. Slide doughnuts into
hot oil. Turn doughnuts as they turn golden brown, about 1-2 minutes on
each side. Remove carefully from oil (do not prick surfaces) and drain.

When cool, make small hole to insert vanilla frosting. Take a sharp
knife and carefully make a large cavity inside of the doughnut to hold
the frosting. Fill the doughnuts generously with vanilla frosting and
dust heavily with powdered sugar. Makes: 12 doughnuts
