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.

DIRECTIONS

In saucepan, boil the first 2 ingredients.
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.
Remove from heat, add 4 eggs, one at a time, beating well and fast until smooth.
Drop dough balls onto a greased pan, making a hole in the center with a spoon handle to resemble donuts.
Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
For the frosting, mix with a mixer all the ingredients, adding the milk 1T. at a time for desired consistency.
Have the frosting ready because donuts are easier to frost when warm.
