DONUTS

1. Place active yeast to warm water, give a quick mix and set aside. Mix together all ingredients together. Once a dough has formed, you will need to knead for about 5 - 10 minutes. You should be able to pull at dough and it not tear right away. Cover this a cloth, and let sit for about 30 minutes to an hour. Punch out the air and roll out to about a 1/4 inch. Cut out shapes as close to each other as possible, you can re roll out excess dough and cut out more, until all the dough is used.
2. Heat oil to about 375F
3. Fry donuts, for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Set on paper towel, to soak up excess oil

ICING

1. Mix this when your donuts are all done. Stir together sugar and milk

CHOCOLATE GLAZE

1. In a double boiler, or a pot with water and a bowl that fits on top. Melt chocolate, butter, corn syrup and vanilla.
2. Dip your donuts in either icing, and for contrast, using a spoon drizzle icing over iced doughnut
