Directions:Heat or fat (3 - 4 inches) to 375 F. in deep fryer or kettle.
Scald milk. Add shortening and salt and cool to lukewarm.
Add crumbled yeast to 2 + 1/2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Cover and let rise until bubbly.
Mix spices with sugar and add to sponge with beaten eggs. Mix well.
Add remaining flour to make a dough that can be kneaded. Knead until smooth.
Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk.
Turn dough into well-floured cloth covered board; roll around lightly to cover with flour. Gently roll dough 1/2 inch thick. Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Let rise on on board until doubled in size. Slide doughnuts into hot fat. Turn them as they rise to the surface. Fry in deep fat (375 F.) 2-3 minutes or until golden brown on both sides. Carefully remove from fat. Do not prick the surface. Drain on unglazed paper. Serve plain, sugared or frosted.

Notes: Deep fat frying tips. The right temperature of fat is so important for tender, light doughnuts. If too hot, doughnuts drown before they cook through; if too cool, they become grease-soaked.
To test temperature without a thermometer, drop a bread cube into the fat. At 375 F., it should Brown in 60 seconds.
