Ingredients:  
1 Tbsp. Yeast
1/8 c. warm water
3/4 c. lukewarm milk
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
3 Tbsp. shortening
3 c. flour

Directions:
Directions:
Dissolve yeast in water. Combine milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening and add to yeast water. Slowly beat flour on low until smooth elastic.
Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Roll out on floured surface about 1/2 inch thick. Cut with cookie cutter or any circular glass and use a smaller circle to cut out the center (doughnut holes). I used a mason jar for the larger circle and cut off the handle of a baby formula scoop for the smaller circle creating the doughnut holes. Separate the doughnut centers (holes) from the doughnut rings.
Place on a cookie sheet and allow enough room to let them rise. They rise for about 30 min. Heat vegetable oil to 375 degrees.
Combine cinnamon and sugar in one bowl (preferably a Tupperware bowl with a lid) and powdered sugar in another bowl. These need to be ready before frying so the hot doughnuts can be coated immediately. Slowly transfer doughnuts with spatula to the hot oil and fry 30 seconds each side until lightly golden brown. Place them in the immediately in your coating of choice and shake bowl side to side to coat evenly.
