A little more flour may be
needed, but dough should be soft. Turn out on floured board and knead
until satiny. Let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk.
For
doughnuts: Roll out dough, cut doughnuts, place on trays, let
rise until not quite double. Fry in hot shortening (375 degrees).
When drained, dip in glaze.
