Shortening used to refer to any solid-at-room-temperature fat, including lard, beef tallow, or even butter.

I have their recipes. Many of my Mum's recipe have only ingredients - they just knew what to do - I suppose less choice of ingredients and gadgets. Your doughnuts look delicious . Tres bon - from New Zealand.

Oh I have the same trouble with my grandmother's recipes. Sometimes she'll add a bit of this, a bit of that and has her own way of doing things. Your doughnuts turned out wonderful and look soooo tasty! I love the sprinkled powdered sugar and the glaze. YUM! I had lots of fun with this challenge, it was my first challenge and I LOVE doughnuts so I was super excited. I made Peanut Butter and Jelly Filled Doughnuts. 🙂

I too have a donut recipe from my grandfather, who was a baker, but haven't got it quite right yet:) These look yummy though, I would eat a whole box:) I enjoyed this month's challenge, and ended up with halloween donuts. Fun:)

They're usually so vague in their descriptions, probably because the writer knew what they were doing. 🙂 Very frustrating!

Anyway, I think that your doughnuts look beautiful! Great job.
