Doughnuts:
Dissolve yeast in warm water in 1½-quart bowl. Add milk, salt, eggs, shortening and 2 cups flour. Beat on low speed scraping bowl constantly for 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed scraping bowl occasionally for 2 min. Stir in remaining flour until smooth. Cover and let rise in warm place, until double in size: 50-60 minutes.
(Dough is ready when indentation remains when touched.) Turn dough onto floured surface, roll around lightly to coat with flour. Gently roll dough ½” thick with floured rolling pin. Cut with floured doughnut cutter.
Cover and let rise until double in size: 30-40 minutes. Heat vegetable oil in deep fryer to 350º. Slide doughnuts into hot oil with wide spatula. Turn doughnuts as they rise to the surface. Fry until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Remove carefully from oil (do not prick surface); drain.
Dip the doughnuts into creamy glaze. Set on rack, then when slightly cooled spread chocolate glaze on top. Dip in sprinkles or other toppings after chocolate if desired.

Creamy Glaze:
Heat butter until melted. Remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in water, 1 tbsp at a time, until desired consistency.
Chocolate Glaze:
Heat butter and chocolate over low heat until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in water 1 tbsp at a time, until desired consistency.
