Whole Wheat Doughnuts

Notes: I used the recipe from http://www.food.com/recipe/krispy-kreme-doughnuts-63746 but made a few changes according to my liking.

My chocolate glaze recipe I got from http://joythebaker.com/2011/09/old-fashioned-doughnuts-with-chocolate-glaze/

My changes are as follows:
I used brown sugar instead of white sugar.
I used wheat flour instead of white flour.
I 1/3-ed the glaze and used different flavors.

Ingredients

Doughnuts

• 2 cups scalded milk
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2/3 cup sugar, divided
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons yeast
• 4 eggs ( beaten)
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 7 cups sifted flour
Glaze

• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup cold water

Directions

1. Mix together ingredients for glaze.
2. Melt butter in hot milk, add 1 tsp sugar and salt. Allow to cool.
3. Beat in yeast, nutmeg, eggs, remaining sugar, and 3 cups flour.
4. Add rest of flour (dough will be sticky).
5. Knead for 5 minutes then allow to rise for 1-1 1/2 hours.
6. Roll out dough, cut into shapes.
7. Do not re-roll dough, then allow to rise for 30-45 minutes.
8. Heat oil to 365° and fry 1 - 2 minutes on each side or until brown. Toss in the doughnut holes first, let those cook, and then proceed to cooking the donuts.
