doughnuts

Anybody know how to make perfect ring doughnuts and what are the ingredients just like the 'Dunkin doughnuts'

[Clanad]

Our experience with this recipe produces golden morsels very nearly like Dunkin Doughnuts. We've found the choice of container for cooking to be important... we use a heavy, cast iron Dutch Oven about 10 inches in diameter and we use a little more oil than called for in the recipe... probably 4 to 5 inches deep. Keep the oil consistently hot... Best of luck!

1 package regular or quick-acting yeast
1/8 cup warm water (105-115 degrees F)
3/4 cup lukewarm milk (scalded then cooled)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1/6 cup shortening
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a mixing bowl. Add milk, sugar, salt, egg, shortening and 1 cup of flour. Beat on low speed while scraping bowl for 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 2 minutes. Stir in remaining flour until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double, about 50-60 minutes. Turn dough onto a floured surface. Roll dough 1/2- inch thick. Cut with round cookie cutter. Cover and let rise on floured baking sheets until double, 30-40 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or Dutch oven to 350. Slide doughnuts into hot oil. Turn doughnuts as they turn golden brown, about one minute on each side. Remove carefully from oil (do not prick surfaces) and drain.
We top ours with plain, granulated sugar, but a simple white icing is made with water, sugar and vanilla reduced in a sauc pan. One can also top them with powdered sugar...

Doughnuts may be dipped into sprinkles or other toppings after Chocolate Glaze is applied if desired.

One of our TV chefs uses canned biscuits and cuts out the centers and frys them to make doughnuts - they may not be quite as good, but they certainly would be easier!!! :)

OOoooo have you seen the Krispy Kreme's website? Took me ages to wipe the drool off my 'puter after browsing that one!
