Directions:
Dissolve yeast in water with sugar. Wait a few minutes and then mix everything together well (except glaze ingredients) in a bread mixer. Turn into oiled bowl and let rise 30 minutes. Dough will be a little wet to handle. Use a fair amount of flour on the counter to roll out until 1/3 inch thick. Cut donuts and let sit a minute to plump again before frying them.
For glaze - soften gelatin a few minutes in 1/4 cup cold water, then add to 3/4 c hot water. Stir well. Add the powdered sugar, cream of tartar and vanilla. Whip well with a wire whip.
Glaze the donuts while they are extremely hot. Dip donuts into freshly whipped glaze, Place them on a cooling rack with a cookie sheet underneath. From time to time, scrape the glazed drippings back into glaze bowl. For chocolate glaze, thicken glaze with more powdered sugar and Hershey's chocolate ice cream syrup.

Personal Notes:
Sister Bangerter gave this to me when President Bangerter gave Sadee her patriarchal blessing. We love them, both the people and the donuts. Making these has become a fun fall tradition.
