Ingredients:  
1/2 tbsp dry active yeast
1/4 C warm water
1/4 C buttermilk
1 1/2 tbsp shortening, melted (do not use oil)
1 1/2 tbsp sugar

Directions:
Directions:
Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add buttermilk, shortening, sugar, and 3/4 C flour, baking powder, and salt; mix well. Add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead several times. Roll the dough to 1/2 inch thick and cut with a 2 1/2 inch doughnut cutter.

Place doughnuts on a lightly floured surface, cover, and let rise 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Heat 2-3 inches of oil to 375ºF. Drop in 4 or 5 doughnuts at a time. Cook about 2 minutes or until lightly golden in color, turning once. Drain well on paper towels.

Combine 2 1/2 C powdered sugar with 1/4 C milk, stir until smooth. Dip each doughnut in glaze while still warm; allow excess glaze to drip off. Cool on a wire rack or serve warm.
