DONUTS OR DOUGHNUTS?

Yum, Yum, Yum. . . These donuts were delicious. We had fun with all the toppings that we used, toasted coconut, chopped heath bars, and of course sprinkles. We had so much fun, you all should try to make these.

The recipe is:

2 cups milk

4 Tb. butter

1 cup mashed potatoes

Scald milk. Melt butter in milk. Add potatoes.

2 Tb. yeast

1 tea. sugar

1/3 cup water

Dissolve above ingredients together

2 tea. salt

2 eggs - beaten

2 tb. sugar

5 or more cups flour

When milk is slightly cooled and yeast is dissolved add all ingredients together. Knead well. Cover dough with a towel and let raise until doubled. (About 1 1/2 hours)

Roll out and cut. Put donuts on a floured board. Let raise again. Fry in hot oil. Glaze while warm.

Glaze:

1 pkg. powdered sugar

2 tea. vanilla

hot water

Mix together until right consistency (quite thin)

For chocolate, add quite a bit of cocoa until it tastes just right.
