Ingredients

1 package of dry yeast or 1 cake compressed yeast

¼ cup water

¾ cup milk, scalded

¼ cup shortening

¼ cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 egg

3½ to 3¾ cups sifted all-purpose flour

ORANGE GLAZE:

1 Tablespoon grated orange peel

3 Tablespoons orange juice

2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar

Directions

Soften active dry yeast in warm water (110° F) or compressed yeast in lukewarm water (85° F). Combine milk, shortening, sugar and salt; cool to lukewarm. Add 1 cup of the flour; beat well. Add softened yeast and egg; mix. Add enough of remaing flour to make soft dough. Turn out on lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and satiny (about 8 minutes). Place in greased bowl, turning once to grease surface. Cover and let rise till double (about 1¼ hours). Punch down. Let rise again till double (about 55 minutes.)

Roll out dough 1/3 inch thick. Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Let rise till very light (30 to 40 minutes). Fry in deep hot fat (375° F) till browned. Drain on paper towels. While warm, dip doughnuts in granulated sugar or glaze with Orange Glaze.

ORANGE GLAZE: Add together peel, orange juice and sugar. Blend.

Makes about 1½ dozen.
