Instructions
- Add water and yeast together in a stand mixer and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Add in the milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening and 2 cups of the flour.
- Turn the stand mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, then add in the rest of the flour and mix until just combined.
- Take the bowl out of the stand mixer and cover with a clean towel to let it rise for 1 hour.
- Note: When you can push down on the dough and your fingerprint stays you're ready to move on to the next step!
- Working with half the dough at a time, roll it to 1/2 inch thick on a floured surface.
- Dip your doughnut cutter in flour, cut out a dozen doughnuts from one half of the dough, and place onto wax paper.
- Repeat with remaining dough sheet for 24 total doughnuts.
- Let rise, covered, in a warm spot for 30-45 mins. (I did 45)
- In a cast iron pan or other deep saucepan, heat the vegetable shortening to 375 degrees.
- Note: Please use a thermometer to measure the temperature as this is a critical step.
- Fry the doughnuts on each side for 90 seconds.
- Drain on a cooling rack until you finish cooking them all then dip into the glaze.
- To make the glaze, add the powdered sugar, milk and corn syrup to a bowl, mix, and microwave for 30 seconds.
- Most importantly, eat with reckless abandon.
Notes
- Note: This recipe yields 12 servings or 24 doughnuts with 2 doughnuts per serving. The original post stated that there were 12 servings without serving size or total doughnuts. It has been updated to provide better clarity and nutritional information for each doughnut.
