Making donuts

I have to learn how to make donuts........

One day last week I tried yeast baked donuts and they were okay but not great so I am going to try a yeast deep fried donuts tonight.
I have looked at several recipes and finally decided on using this one.

2 pkg yeast
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1 tsp salt
2 eggs

1 1/2 cup flour and yeast in a bowl
In a saucepan heat milk and sugar and 1/4 c shortening. warm until shortening is melted.
add to the flour/ yeast mixture
Stir together
Add the eggs
beat on low speed for 1 minute
beat on high speed for 3 minutes and add left over flour
knead on a flour board for 3 minutes

Place in a greased bowl until double in size.
punch down divide in half
let rest for 10 mins
roll out each halt to 1/2 inch thick

cut with a floured donut cutter
