    1-1/2 cups lukewarm milk (scalded then cooled)
    1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 eggs
    1/3 cup shortening
    5 cups all-purpose flour
    Vegetable oil

    at a time, until desired consistency.

    Chocolate glaze:

    2 cups powdered sugar
    1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
    4-6 tablespoons hot water
    4 ozs. milk chocolate or semi-sweet chips

    Recipe



    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"
    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.
