Servings: persons

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110u00b0 to 115u00b0)
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons shortening
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 to 2-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
Oil for deep-fat frying

1
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, shortening, egg, salt and 1 cup flour; beat until blended. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3
For frosting, combine the brown sugar and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat; stir in the milk and vanilla. Add the confectioners' sugar; beat with a portable mixer for 1 minute or until smooth. Set aside.
4
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 20 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball; pat each ball into a 3-in. circle about 1/4 in. thick.
5
In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375u00b0. Drop dough circles, four to five at a time, into oil. Fry for 1-2 minutes or until browned, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Frost while warm.
