Breakfast and Brunch
NEW ORLEANS DOUGHNUTS

1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 cup undiluted evaporated milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
7 cups all-purpose flour, divided use
Oil for frying

In large bowl, sprinkle yeast over the 1 1/2 cups warm water; stir to dissolve. Add evaporated milk, sugar, eggs and salt. Blend with rotary beater.

Add 4 cups of the flour; beat smooth. Add shortening; beat in remaining 3 cups flour. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Roll dough out on floured board to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 2 1/2-inch squares.
