Mix for a few minutes at low speed, or stirring with a wooden spoon. Beat in remaining flour 1\/2 cup at a time, until the dough no longer sticks to the bowl. Knead for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough into a greased bowl, and cover. Set in a warm place to rise until double. Dough is ready if you touch it, and the indention remains.<br \/>\nTurn the dough out onto a floured surface, and gently roll out to 1\/2 inch thickness. Cut with a floured doughnut cutter. Let doughnuts sit out to rise again until double. Cover loosely with a cloth.<br \/>\nMelt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in confectioners\u2019 sugar and vanilla until smooth. Remove from heat, and stir in hot water one tablespoon at a time until the icing is somewhat thin, but not watery. Set aside.<br \/>\nHeat oil in a deep-fryer or large heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slide doughnuts into the hot oil using a wide spatula. Turn doughnuts over as they rise to the surface. Fry doughnuts on each side until golden brown. Remove from hot oil, to drain on a wire rack. Dip doughnuts into the glaze while still hot, and set onto wire racks to drain off excess. Keep a cookie sheet or tray under racks for easier clean up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients : 2 (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast (or 2 Tablespoons) 1\/4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees) 1 1\/2 cups lukewarm milk 1\/2 cup white sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 eggs 1\/3 cup shortening 5 cups all-purpose flour 1 quart vegetable oil for frying For the glaze: 1\/3 cup butter 2 cups [&hellip;] <a class=\"g1-link g1-link-more\" href=\"https:\/\/deliciousfoodhomemade.com\/wannabe-famous-donuts\/\">More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8803,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[58],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/deliciousfoodhomemade.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8802"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/deliciousfoodhomemade.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/deliciousfoodhomemade.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deliciousfoodhomemade.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deliciousfoodhomemade.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8802"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/deliciousfoodhomemade.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8802\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8804,"href":"https:\/\/deliciousfoodhomemade.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8802\/revisions\/8804"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deliciousfoodhomemade.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/deliciousfoodhomemade.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deliciousfoodhomemade.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deliciousfoodhomemade.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
