These are super good. Give them a try...
Doughnuts
1 cup water
2 tsp yeast
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 tsp salt
pinch of mace (optional - you can't really taste it anyway)
1/4 cup dry milk
1 egg
2-3 cups bread flour (i always end up using 3 cups)
1. Dissolve yeast in water. In mixer add shortening, salt, sugar, mace, dry milk, and egg.
2. Add yeast water and the flour on top of water.
3. Use hook attachment and mix on low for 3 minutes until it is completely combined.
4. On medium speed mix for about 8 minutes or until a window pane is achieved.
5. Place in a greased bowl for about an hour or until double.
6. Roll out to 1 inch thickness and cut with round cookie cutter and cut out hole.
7. Lay cut doughnuts on parchment squares and cover with plastic wrap and let rise until double.
8. In 350 degree oil drop doughnuts in one at a time. Cook about 30 seconds to a minute on each side or until light golden brown.
9. Place on paper towels or drip rack. Roll in cinnamon sugar while still hot or let cool and frost.
These take a bit of time but are well worth it for an occasional treat!

Doesn't mace burn your eyes?
Not the kind that you put in donuts. It's kind of like all-spice. I think mace is in pumpkin pie spice. I wouldn't try putting any in my eyes though, just in case.
Did you use actual shortening, like crisco? Or butter, or margarine?
