This Amish donut recipe is inspired by those delicious pastries that you can buy in Amish bakeries, or perhaps during outings to a farm or apple orchard. These donuts are fluffy, crispy, and covered in a gooey glaze that will have you asking for an extra napkin.

Ingredients
| DONUTS |
| 3 eggs |
| 6 cups flour |
| 2 cups warm water |
| 2 tablespoons salt |
| 4 tablespoons yeast |
| 1/2 cup sugar |
| 1/2 cup shortening |
| GLAZE |
| 2 teaspoons corn syrup |
| 1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
| 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar |
| 2 tablespoons hot water |
Directions
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 2 cups of warm water. Add eggs, flour, salt, sugar and lard to yeast mixture. Mix well.
Cover with a tea towel and let rise until doubled. Roll out to 1/2" thick, cutting with a doughnut cutter.
Let rise again, 30-45 minutes. Fry until golden on one side then flip and do the other side. This takes just a few minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and dip in glaze.
For the glaze: Mix corn syrup, vanilla, powdered sugar and 2 T. hot water together. If consistency is not thin enough, add the other tablespoon water. Roll doughnuts in glaze while still warm.
