These are so good! This is my g-ma's recipe. These are best the first couple of days after you make them; if you keep them for longer, they start to get soggy. These are best when they have completely cooled.
Ingredients:
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon almond flavoring
1 -2 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
Directions:
1. In saucepan, boil the first 2 ingredients.
2. Combine 1 cup flour, and 1/4 t salt. Add this mix all at once to boiling water. Turn heat to low, cook and stir until ball forms.
3. Remove from heat, add 4 eggs, one at a time, beating well and fast until smooth.
4. Drop dough balls onto a greased pan, making a hole in the center with a spoon handle to resemble donuts.
5. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
6. For the frosting, mix with a mixer all the ingredients, adding the milk 1T. at a time for desired consistency.
7. Have the frosting ready because donuts are easier to frost when warm.
