How To Make glazed raised donuts

• 
  1

  Put warm water (not hot, it will kill yeast) in bowl/cup and pour in the yeast with 1 tsp of sugar.
• 
  2

  While yeast is activating place milk in a microwave safe dish and scald.
• 
  3

  Add butter to the milk and let it melt completely, pretty much cooling it down some, but not completely.
• 
  4

  Place the sugar and salt in mixing bowl.
• 
  5

  Pour milk and butter mixture over the sugar and salt, stirring until dissolved.
• 
  6

  Add one cup of the flour.
• 
  7

  Add eggs
• 
  8

  Add activated yeast
• 
  9

  Mix until this mixture is smooth.
• 
  10

  Add remaining flour and mix until dough comes away from sides, and is soft and knead-able.
• 
  11

  Pour out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.
• 
  12

  Place dough into a lightly sprayed (non stick spray) bowl, let sit for 2-3 hours and is doubled in size or larger.
• 
  13

  This is 1.5 hours after sitting.
• 
  14

  This is 3 hours later.
• 
  15

  Put dough on a lightly floured surface and flour your rolling pin and roll it about a half inch to an inch thick

  Next cut out the donuts and the holes. I used a pan holder I have for cutting and a piping tool attachment for the donut hole.
• 
  17

  Let the donuts sit for 30 minutes or so.
• 
  18

  Then fry in canola oil (325 degrees - 350 degrees). Honestly just watch them for the first try and time it. I would say a minute maybe on each side give or take. You judge how dark or light, we enjoyed all tones mmmmmmm
