Ha, funny story!!! I burned down my house (in my defense, not all the way down!!!) making doughnuts when I was about 12 or so. So I was a little nervous trying this out again. But this was actually my therapy. These were awesome!! Not as good as Krispy Kreme, but still the best darn home made doughnuts I've ever had.
Lately, I've enjoyed making my breads in the dough cycle in my bread machine, and then shape them in a pan and cook as normal. When I made the doughnuts, that's exactly what I did! I just put it on the dough cycle.
First I scalded the milk and let it cool a little. Then I added the ingredients in this order:
Scalded & cooled milk
Water
Shortening
Eggs
Salt
Sugar
Flour
lastly, add the yeast on top
Turn your bread dough on the "dough cycle".
Once the dough cycle is finished, follow the rest of the directions as normal.
