Doughnuts
1 cup sugar

23 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, cut into pieces

12 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)
7 to 8 cups all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil
Glaze
2 12 cups powdered sugar
14 cup water
2 tablespoons honey
STEP 1
Combine sugar, milk, butter and salt in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat 3-4 minutes until butter melts. Cool to warm (105°F to 115°F).
STEP 2
Dissolve yeast in warm water in bowl. Add cooled milk mixture, 4 cups flour and eggs. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until moistened. Beat 3 minutes at medium speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to form soft dough.

STEP 5
Heat 3 inches oil in deep fat fryer or Dutch oven to 375°F.
