Recipe(tried): DUNKIN DONUTS

Here is a recipe for Dunkin Donuts vanilla frosting filled donuts. I would
assume you could add some cocoa powder to the frosting to make the chocolate
frosting filled ones. These are incredible. Enjoy!

VANILLA FROSTING FILLED DOUGHNUTS

1 pkg. regular or quick-acting yeast
1/8 cup warm water (105-115 degrees)
3/4 cup lukewarm milk (scalded then cooled)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1/6 cup shortening
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water in mixing bowl. Add milk, sugar, salt, egg,
shortening and 1 cup of flour. Beat on low speed scraping bowl constantly, 30
seconds. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 2 minutes. Stir in
remaining flour until smooth. Cover and let rise in warm place until double,
approximately 50-60 minutes. Turn dough onto floured surface. Roll dough 1/2-
inch thick. Cut with round cookie cutter. Cover and let rise on floured baking
sheets until double, 30-40 minutes. Heat vegetable oil in deep fryer or Dutch
oven to 350. Slide doughnuts into hot oil. Turn doughnuts as they turn golden
brown, about one minute on each side. Remove carefully from oil (do not prick
surfaces) and drain. When cool, make small hole to insert vanilla frosting
(recipe is on following page) . Take a sharp narrow knife and carefully make a
large cavity inside of the doughnut to hold the frosting. Fill the doughnuts
generously with vanilla frosting and dust heavily with powdered sugar.

Makes: 12 doughnuts
