Cooking instruction summary:

In a small saucepan set over low heat, warm the milk and butter until butter is melted. Remove from heat and let sit for about 5 minutes, or until mixture is 110-120 degrees F.In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine two cups of the flour with the yeast, salt, and sugar. Add the warmed milk mixture and the eggs and mix until combined. With the mixer on medium speed, add the remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time until dough is thick but still slightly sticky to the touch. Continue to knead on medium speed until smooth and elastic, about 4-5 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.Gently punch down dough to release gases and let sit for about 5 minutes. On a very lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Use a 3 or 3 1/2-inch round cutter to cut dough into circles. Use a smaller cutter, about 1 inch, to cut out the doughnut holes. Place on a sheet pan lined with parchment, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until puffed, about 30 minutes.Fill a heavy bottomed pan with vegetable oil at least 4 inches deep and place over medium high heat. Insert a thermometer and heat to 370 degrees.When oil is hot, fry doughnuts in small batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side, flipping halfway through. Remove doughnuts with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Top doughnuts as desired. Combine the granulate sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Dip hot doughnuts into the sugar, flipping them over until they are completely covered. Use a spoon if necessary. Serve immediately.Whisk together the sifted powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of the milk, and the vanilla extract until smooth and no lumps remain.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
