For the dough:

2 tbsp yeast plus 2 tsp.
1 cup of warm water
1 tsp sugar
Let dislove

In seperate microwave bowl combine
1 cup sugar
3 cups milk
1 cup shortening
1 tbsp salt
Microwave on high for 1-3 min until milk is warm not hot.
Combine with yeast mixture.

Add:
4 eggs
mix again. Then Add flour alittle at a time until dough is soft with just a little sticky to it.
To much flour = bad dough
About 14 cups give or take alittle.

Let rise until double in size. Use oil on counter to roll out your dough and cut into strips or round doughnut like shapes.

Let rise on a greased pan for 20 min. Then bake at 350 for 12-15 min.

When done dip into a maple glazed sauce.

Depending upon how thick or thin you want your glaze add more or less powdered sugar.
