Directions:DOUGHNUTS:
1) In a saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, butter, sugar and salt; bring to a simmer.
2) Pour the mixture into a large bowl, let cool until slightly warm then add 1 C. all-purpose flour and beat well using a mixer.
3) Add the yeast, water, and eggs to the bowl; mix until combined then add remaining flours and mix to form a soft dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
4) Place the dough into a large oiled mixing bowl; roll the dough in the bowl until oiled on all sides then cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours.
5) On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough until 1/3-inch thick then cut it using a floured doughnut cutter; transfer to a lightly floured baking pan and let rest for 40 minutes or until it rises to double its size.
6) Fill the fryer with oil and preheat to 375º F.
7) Place 3 doughnuts into the fryer; fry for 1 minute on each side or until golden brown.
8) Remove and drain on a cooling rack with absorbent paper underneath then repeat with remaining doughnuts.
9) Dip the doughnuts in the glaze while still warm then return them to the cooling rack until ready to serve.
GLAZE:
