Fun on a Budget
List of Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs plus 1 egg yolk, beaten
2 envelopes active dry yeast
4 cups sifted flour
Cooking Oil
Recipe
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.
