Homemade Glazed Doughnuts

Homemade Glazed Doughnuts
Homemade Never Tasted So Good!
Difficulty: Moderate

Ingredients
3/4 cup scalded milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 (.25 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp nutmeg, grated
1/3 cup butter, softened
2 eggs, beaten
oil for deep frying

Directions
In a medium bowl or electric mixer bowl, stir together the scalded milk, sugar, nutmeg and salt.  Add 2 cups of the flour to the milk, and beat until well blended.
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Stir into the milk and flour mixture, then mix in the butter and eggs. Mix in the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time. When dough is firm enough, turn it out onto a floured surface, and knead for 3 to 4 minutes. Place into an oiled bowl, cover and allow dough to rise until doubled in bulk, about 30 to 45 minutes.  On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/2 inch thick.  Cut into circles using a doughnut cutter, or round cutter. Set aside to rise for 30 to 40 minutes.  Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep heavy frying pan to 375 Degrees F.  Fry doughnuts a few at a time. Cook on each side until golden brown, then remove to drain on paper towels. Glaze while warm.
