According to a recipe book I have this is really the recipe that Krispy Kreme uses to make their doughnuts. Honest to goodness they really do taste like them! This is not just my opinion, but others that we have given them to! Go ahead and give 'em a try!
What the recipe called for:
2pkgs. regular yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 1/2 cups lukewarm milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp/ salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup shortening
5 cups all-purpose flour
veggie oil
Creamy glaze
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, salt, sugar, eggs, shortening and 2 cups flour. Beat on low speed scraping the bowl constantly, 30 sec. Beat on med. speed scraping bowl occasionally, 2 min. Stir in remaining flour until smooth. Cover and let rise in warm place 50-60 min. Turn dough onto floured surface; roll around lightly to coat with flour. Gently roll dough 1/2" thick with floured rolling pin. Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Cover and let rise until double, 30-40 min. Heat veggie oil in deep fryer or electric skillet to 350. Slide doughnuts into hot oil with wide spatula. Turn doughnuts as they rise to the surface. Fry until golden brown, about 1 min. on each side. Remove carefully from oil (do not prick surface); drain. Dip the doughnuts into creamy glaze, set on rack.
Creamy glaze:
1/3 cup butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2tsp. vanilla
4-6 tsp. hot water
Heat butter until melted. Remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in water, 1 tbsp. at a tim
e until desired consistency.

Wow these are delicious! I made them yesterday for Chris and the other pastors in his office. They are now requesting them either for every morning (and afternoon) or at least once a week. They thought they were actually better than Krispy Kreme's. Thanks for the delicious recipe!
