I received this recipe in my inbox awhile back and finally decided to try it yesterday. Very easy to make and very tasty. Although IMHO not quite like Dunkin Donuts but way cheaper than bought donuts. Hope you enjoy!

Dunkin' DonutsÂ® Plain Glazed Donut

3 cups vegetable oil
Dough
1/4oz package active dry yeast
2 tablespoons warm water (about 98F)
3/4 cup warm milk
2+1/2 tablespoons butter/margarine
1 egg
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2+3/4 cups all-purpose flour
Glaze
2/3 stick butter/margarine
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup hot water

Make the dough. Dissolve the yeast in a medium bowl with the warm water. Add the milk, butter/margarine, egg, sugar and salt. Blend with an electric mixer until smooth. Add half of the flour and mix for 30 seconds. Add the remaining flour and knead into the dough with flour-dusted hands.
Cover the bowl of dough and leave in a warm place for 1 hour or until the dough doubles in size. Roll out the dough on a heavily floured surface until it is 1-inch thick. Punch out with a donut cutter, 12 donuts. If you don't have a donut cutter you can use a washed and dried 15oz vegetable can. Remove both lids
from the can. Now you are ready to punch out the holes. Again, if you don't have a donut cutter, find the lid from a lemon juice jar, A-1 Sauce bottle or a lid of a similar size. Make sure it is washed and dried. Cut a hole in the center of each of the donuts. Place the donuts on cookie sheets covered with plastic wrap or waxed paper.
Cover and allow the donuts to double in size again. This will take about 45 minutes. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Bring it to about 350F. Fry each donut for about 30 seconds
per a side, or until light golden brown. Drain and cool on paper toweling.
Mix the ingredients for the glaze in a medium bowl with a hand mixer until smooth. Take a cooled donut, hold it by the edges and touch the top of the donut into the glaze. Flip it over and rest it onto a plate or cookie sheet to allow the glaze to firm up. Makes 1 dozen donuts. HINT: Take the holes and cook them the same way as the donuts. Just dip them a little deeper into the
glaze.

Dunkin' DonutsÂ® Chocolate Glazed Donut
Make as above except use this glaze:
Glaze
2/3 stick butter/margarine
2 cups powdered sugar
