1/2 c. butter
1 c. boiling water
1 c. sifted flour
4 eggs

Melt butter in water and bring to boil. Dump flour and beat vigorously over direct heat until mixture becomes very thick and leaves sides of pan. Remove from heat and add eggs one at a time, beating hard after each addition. Beat until glaze disappears.

Put in pastry bag. Cut out 4 inch squares of tin foil and grease. Squeeze out circles of mixture and dip into 375 degree oil, releasing donut from foil. Fry until golden on one side and turn. Make glaze of powdered sugar and milk, adding a touch of vanilla. Dip warm donut in glaze and put on rack.
