Ingredients
1/2 cup (65g) Loprofin baking mix
1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1Tbps (6g) Loprofin Milk powder
1/4 tsp potato flour
1 tsp white sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 tsp Xantham gum
1 Tbs shortening
1/4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
1 quart vegetable oil or shortning for frying
1Tbps butter
1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 drops teaspoons vanilla
1/2 tablespoons hot water or as needed


Directions
1. Sprinkle yeast over ¼ cup warm water, and let stand for 5-8 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients and shortening, Mix in water and yeast. Place the dough into a greased bowl, and cover. Let rise in a warm place.
3. Form into small balls for “holes”. For traditional shape, turn dough out onto a loprofin floured surface, and gently roll out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a floured doughnut cutter. Let doughnuts sit out to rise again. Cover loosely with a waxpaper.

4. For glaze Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Remove from heat, and stir in hot water a little at a time until thin, but not watery. Set aside.

5. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slide doughnuts into the hot oil using a wide spatula. Turn doughnuts over as they rise to the surface. Fry doughnuts on each side until golden brown. Remove from hot oil, to drain on a wire rack. Dip doughnuts into the glaze while still hot, and set onto wire racks to drain off excess.
