Cindy, you are a genious! I've just finished these and they are perfection! They sure do make A LOT of donuts. It took about 5 hours including waiting for the dough to rise 2 times. I refreshed the oil about every 10 donuts and I fried 3 at a time. I don't have a deep fryer so I just used a lot of oil in my deep frying pan. I made plain glaze, chocolate glaze and a cinnamon sugar coating. I hated trying to take the munchkins out of the oil. I should have used a big slotted spoon. This was a lot of fun to make on a Sunday. I'm amazed I actually did this. Thank you so much! I've been talking about this all day on the message boards. One thing, you should specify putting the yeast into the water. I just assumed that's what you do with it.

These were great! made them for breakfast and they were so yummy and just sweet enough. We just dipped ours in a sugar/cinnamon mixture. I froze some and have been having them at work and they thaw nicely. Thanks for another keeper recipe.

Just wanted to update my previous review " These were the best doughnuts I have ever made - I have tried a lot of recipes and will be keeping this one. I made them with the exact ingredients but altered the mixing method a little. I creamed the shortening and sugar in my KitchenAid with the wire whisk, then added eggs and mixed well. Then added warm milk, salt and 2 c. flour, mixed till well blended. Then dumped in remaining flour and the yeast/water mix. Put on dough hook and kneaded. For a glaze I melted 1/2 cup butter, mixed in 3 cups icing sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla, and enough hot water to make a runny but not watery glaze. Probably about 1/2 cup water but I didn't really measure." I've since made these several times and they are excellent!! Thanks so much for a great keeper.

These are wonderful!! Even though I didnt have time to let them rise fully, they turned out great!! I used a chocolate glaze for the doughnuts (4oz. semi-sweet chocolate and 3 tbsp. butter, melted. beat in 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar and 3 tbsp. hot water, until smooth. Add more water if needed for drizzling consistancy) and a cinnamon & sugar mixture for the holes (2tbsp. cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar in a large ziplock bag. Just add holes and shake). My son won't stop bugging me for one!! I will use this recipe from now on!!

Thank you very much! These are delicious! And I love that it didn't go stale the next day. I just kept it in an airtight container and they still were soft and chewy! =)

These were sooooo good!!!! I just couldn't stop eating them!!!But then I had to get my share in before the kids got home from school and devoured the whole plateful!! I halved the recipe,added a little bit of nutmeg for flavour and made it in my bread machine. I coated them with sugar while still warm. I think next time though I will make them larger by rolling them out thicker and using a larger cutter. A maple flavoured glaze would be nice. Ooooohhh, the possibilities are endless!!! Great recipe Cindy Lynn!!!

I made these doughnuts with my mom last night, and I have got nothing but great reviews! My husband is taking them to work to show them off! They are fantastic. After you glaze them, they are beautiful and shiny! They are fantastic!

I made these just this past weekend when my boys were asking for doughnuts. It was the first time I have made them, and this recipe was easy to follow and had perfect results! I frosted some of them with a maple frosting, and 3 of my boys told me they tasted just like the maple bars at the store. =) I put the doughnut holes in powdered sugar and those didn't last long at all. Next time I plan to add a bit of cinnamon to the dough since we love that flavor, and I'll have to try out different glazes on them. I know the doughnuts themselves will be perfect! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, Cindy Lynn!!!!

This was an okay doughnut recipe. They turned out beautiful in appearance but seemed a little dry.
