Huffy Puffy Donuts

Lyle's kids like to make this when they're snowed in and Samantha likes to make these into cinnamon rolls.

Makes about 5 dozen.

1 c margarine
1 c sugar
6 eggs
2 t salt
1 T vanilla
1 T lemon extract
1 at of either milk or water or a combo
3 T yeast mixed with 1/2 c warm water
15 c flour

Cream the margarine and sugar.  Add eggs, salt and flavorings.  Add the liquid.  Add the yeast.  Mix all together and add flour until dough is soft.  Turn out and knead.  Cover and let rise 1 to 1 1/2 hours.  Knead down and let rise again.  Divide into 4 parts.  Cut in to shapes.  Let rise.  Cook in an electric frying pan filled about 2/3 full of oil.  Turn pan to highest temperature and put it on a bread board.  Cook the donuts until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.  Drain the oil off on a paper towel.  Frost the donuts as desired when cool.  Sugar, chocolate frosting, and maple frosting are great options.
