YEAST DOUGHNUTS
When it comes to warm and fluffy freshly fried doughnuts, you just can't beat a yeast dough. There are plenty of doughnut recipes out there that call for chemical leaveners, and if faithfully followed, they will prepare something that looks like a doughnut, but won't taste or feel like a doughnut. I'd stick with yeast, which creates the texture and flavor that we all crave. This recipe first appeared in Season 8 of Good Eats.Photo by Lynne Calamia

Steps:
- Place the milk and vegetable shortening in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook just until the shortening has melted. Move to the refrigerator to cool to 110ºF, about 10 minutes.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and let stand for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, combine the cooled milk mixture with the yeast mixture. Add the sugar, salt, nutmeg, eggs, and half of the flour, and combine with the paddle attachment on low. Increase the speed to medium and beat until well combined.
- Replace the paddle attachment with the dough hook, add the remaining flour, and beat until dough pulls away from the bowl and becomes smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the dough and shape into a smooth round. Transfer to a well-oiled bowl, cover, and rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- On a well-floured surface, fold the dough over itself twice and roll out to 3/8-inch thick. Cut out using 2 1/2 inch doughnut cutter or pastry ring, using a 7/8-inch ring for the center hole. Scrap dough can be re-rolled twice. Set on a lightly floured half sheet pan and rise, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer (or cast-iron Dutch oven fitted with a candy/fry thermometer) to 365ºF. Drop the doughnuts into the oil 4 at a time and cook 1 minute per side. Transfer to a wire rack placed in a paper towel-lined half sheet pan. The doughnut "hole" dough can be saved and fried after the doughnuts. Fry 10 to 12 holes at a time for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring gently with a spider. Drain and remove to a wire rack set over a paper towel-lined half sheet pan. While still warm, toss in vanilla sugar or glaze.

Good old A.B. sure does know his way around the kitchen! Here's a great recipe from Good Eats I thought I'd post. We're making these right now and I cannot wait to eat some! You will need a kitchen scale for this, as you have to weigh the flour. Cooking time includes time to rise.

Steps:
- Place the milk in a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat just until warm enough to melt the shortening.
- Place the shortening in a bowl and pour warmed milk over. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and let dissolve for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, pour the yeast mixture into the large bowl of a stand mixer and add the milk and shortening mixture, first making sure the milk and shortening mixture has cooled to lukewarm.
- Add the eggs, sugar, salt, nutmeg, and half of the flour.
- Using the paddle attachment, combine the ingredients on low speed until flour is incorporated and then turn the speed up to medium and beat until well combined.
- Add the remaining flour, combining on low speed at first, and then increase the speed to medium and beat well.
- Change to the dough hook attachment of the mixer and beat on medium speed until the dough pulls away from the bowl and becomes smooth, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer to a well-oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- On a well-floured surface, roll out dough to 3/8-inch thick. Cut out dough using a 2 1/2-inch doughnut cutter or pastry ring and using a 7/8-inch ring for the center whole.
- Set on floured baking sheet, cover lightly with a tea towel, and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oil in a deep fryer or Dutch oven to 365 degrees F.
- Gently place the doughnuts into the oil, 3 to 4 at a time. Cook for 1 minute per side.
- Transfer to a cooling rack placed in baking pan.
- Allow to cool for 15 to 20 minutes prior to glazing, if desired.
