Old Fashioned Glazed Doughnuts
Published in: razzledazzle recipes
1 cups scalded milk
1/2 cups butter
1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs plus 1 egg yolk -- beaten
2 envelope active dry yeast
4 cup sifted flour
Cooking Oil
In a large mixing bowl, pour scalded milk over the butter, sugar and
salt. Cool slightly. Add the eggs. When the temperature reaches between
105 to 115 degrees, add the yeast. Let mixture stand for 5 minutes.
Blend in flour a little at a time. Mix into a soft dough. When smooth,
turn the dough out onto a well-floured board. Knead gently for about 2
minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat all sides.
Let rise for 1 hour. Punch the dough down and divide in half. On a
lightly floured board roll each section to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a
floured doughnut cutter. Place on waxed paper. Set in a warm place. Let
rise for 30 minutes. In a deep skillet heat cooking oil to 375
degrees. Using a slotted spoon gently slip each doughnut into the oil.
Fry for 2 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper
towels. In another mixing bowl, blend 1 cup confectioners' sugar, 3
tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Drizzle over warm
doughnuts.
