Glazed doughnuts are one of the most popular types of doughnuts. They are made with a yeast-raised dough that is deep-fried and then coated in a vanilla glaze. These doughnuts are typically served warm and are best eaten within a few hours of being made.
1 cup scalded milk
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
1 egg yolk, beaten
2 envelopes active dry yeast
4 cups sifted flour
cooking oil
Drizzle
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a large mixing bowl, pour scalded milk over the butter, sugar and salt. Cool slightly. Add the eggs. When the temperature reaches between 105 to 115 degrees F, add the yeast. Let mixture stand for 5 minutes.
Blend in flour a little at a time. Mix into a soft dough. When smooth, turn the dough out onto a well-floured board. Knead gently for about 2 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat all sides. Let rise for 1 hour.
Punch the dough down and divide in half. On a lightly floured board roll each section to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a floured doughnut cutter. Place on waxed paper. Set in a warm place. Let rise for 30 minutes.
In a deep skillet heat cooking oil to 375 degrees F. Using a slotted spoon gently slip each doughnut into the oil. Fry for 2 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels.
For the drizzle: In mixing bowl, blend confectioners' sugar, water and vanilla extract. Drizzle over warm doughnuts.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Make your mornings a little less hectic with these overnight breakfast recipes. Prep the night before and enjoy a warm, comforting meal in the morning.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

this was a lot of messy work compared to just going to the store and buying donuts but they did turn out awesome. Don't know if I'll go through the effort again though.
