  I used to work an all night 12 hour shift, there was a donut shop on my way home from time to time I would stop and get a 6 pack. They were hot fresh and oh so good!

  I learned to make donuts from scratch in a small town bakery that had been open since the 1920s.  They used one ingredient in the donut dough that you left out: baking powder.  Yup, in yeast raised donuts.  It gave them just a little extra puff when they hit the fryer.  They were so good, one of my regular customers married me.  Those old home town donuts are the standard I use to judge all others, and I've never quite found their equal.

  If you cut your sprayed/greased parchment paper into squares before placing the doughnuts on the  sheet pan to rise, they are easier to lift off the sheet pan and place into the frying pot without making them misshaped or smashed.

  Made these a few days ago and they turned out!  Not only did they turn out...but they were great!  The neighbors all thanked me and I thank you.  I've wanted to conquer raised donuts for years and failed every time until now.

  I worked in a bakery and was taught to not slide the donut into the oil, but to lay it flat into the oil, because if the top get oil onto it it seals the dough and makes a more dense donut.

  Never had any idea that light yeast donuts were so much work.   Delish results

  I admit, I gasped when I saw the chocolate glazed donut.  Simply gorgeous!

  Hi Ladies<br>My mom was making those same donuts back in the 1970s since I was 15 or so. I am 70 now. I tried making them about 10 years after that but they didn&apos;t come out the same. After that I cheated and used frozen bread dough. That is also how I made sopapillas. Those came out more like my mom&apos;s doughnuts. Just as good too.<br>Mike-Las Vegas NV

  confection sugar, warm milk, and butter mix for the glaze. Add chery extract, almond extract, maple extract, etc. to the glaze for different flavors which ever you choose.. Will have to try this dough recipe!
