DONUTS!

Who doesn't love  a good donut?








Baked Raised Donuts
1/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoon margarine
1/3 cup very warm water
1 pkg. yeast
1 egg, beaten
2 1/3 cup sifted flour
1 teaspoon lemon rind
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup melted margarine
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoon cinnamon

Scald milk. Stir in sugar, salt and oleo. Cool to lukewarm. Measure very warm water into large mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast in water; stir until dissolved. Stir in lukewarm milk mixture, egg and 1/2 of flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in lemon rind, nutmeg and rest of flour to make soft dough. Turn dough on a lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic. Place dough in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm place until double in bulk (45 minutes). Punch down. Turn out on floured board. Roll out 1/3-inch thick. Cut with floured donut cutter. Place donuts on greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in warm place for 1/2 hour. Brush tops and sides with some of the melted oleo and bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and dip in remaining oleo, then in 1/2 cup sugar into which some cinnamon has been mixed. Serve warm. Makes 1-1/2 dozen.



Krispy Kreme Doughnuts
2 pkg yeast
1/4 cup warm water (105-115 degrees)
1-1/2 cup lukewarm milk (scalded then cooled)
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup shortening
5 cup all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil

Dissolve yeast in warm water in 2 1/2-quart bowl. Add milk, salt, eggs, shortening and 2 cups flour. Beat on low speed scraping bowl constantly, 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, 50-60 minutes. (Dough is ready when indentation remains when touched.) Turn dough onto floured surface; roll around lightly to coat with flour. Gently roll dough 1/2-inch thick with floured rolling pin. Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Cover and let rise until double, 30-40 minutes. Heat vegetable oil in deep fryer to 350 degrees. Slide doughnuts into hot oil with wide spatula. Turn doughnuts as they rise to the surface. Fry until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Remove carefully from oil (do not prick surface); drain. Dip the doughnuts into creamy glaze set on rack then when slightly cooled spread chocolate glaze on top. Can dip in sprinkles or other toppings after chocolate if desired.
