Raised Doughnuts No. 1

1 cake Fleischman's yeast 1 1/4 cups milk, scalded and cooled 1 tablespoon sugar 4 1/2 cups sifted flour

1/2 cup sugar

3 tablespoons butter

1/2 teaspoon mace

2 eggs

1/4 teaspoon salt

Dissolve yeast and one tablespoon sugar in luke warm water, add half of the flour and beat well, cover and let rise in warm place for about an hour or until bubbles burst on top. Add to this the butter and sugar creamed, mace, eggs well beaten, the remainder of the flour to make soft dough, and lastly the salt. Knead lightly. Place in well greased bowl, cover and allow to rise again in warm place for about one and one-half hours. When light, turn on floured board, roll to about one-fourth inch in thickness, cut with small doughnut-cutter, cover and let rise again, on floured board, in warm place until light, about forty-five minutes will be required. Drop into deep hot fat with side uppermost which has been next to board. When a film of smoke begins to rise from fat it will be found to be the right temperature in which to cook doughnuts. Doughnuts made in this way do not absorb the fat because they rise before and not after they are put into the grease.
