INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large mixing bowl combine 1 3/4 cups flour with yeast. In a saucepan
heat milk, sugar, butter and salt until butter melts. Stir milk mixture
into flour along with eggs, beating with a heavy-duty electric mixer on low
for 30 seconds, just to combine. Increase speed to high and beat 3 minutes.
Add enough of remaining flour, a little at a time, stirring with a spoon to
make a firm but pliable dough. Knead dough on lightly-floured work surface
4 to 5 minutes and transfer to an oiled bowl. Cover and let dough rise
until it doubles in size, about 1 hour. Turn dough out onto floured
surface, punch down and roll out to 1 /2- inch thickness. Cut out doughnuts
with a floured doughnut cutter; reroll trimmings and cut them into
doughnuts as well. Transfer doughnuts to baking sheets, cover and let rise
45    minutes.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 360 degrees. Fry doughnuts, in batches, turning
several times, until golden all over. Using a slotted spoon remove
doughnuts to a rack to drain. If using Honey Glaze, immediately glaze hot
doughnuts; if using Chocolate Glaze, let cool first. Or let doughnuts cool
and dredge in confectioners' sugar or cinnamon-sugar. Yield: 1 1/2 dozen
