- In large bowl, whisk 4 cups cake flour, 3½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup nonfat dry milk, 2½ tablespoons baking powder, 1¾ teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1½ teaspoons salt.
- In separate large bowl, beat ½ cup vegetable shortening, and ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar with mixer on low speed 2½ minutes.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, 3 large egg yolks, and 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1½ minutes; carefully beat in 2 cups water.
- Add flour mixture in 3 additions, mixing on low speed 1½ minutes after each addition.
- Transfer dough to floured work surface; let stand 15 minutes.

- Attach deep fryer/candy thermometer to side of medium saucepan; fill saucepan with about 2 inches canola oil. Heat oil to 380°; gently add 2 to 3 doughnuts at a time to hot oil. Cook 3 minutes or until evenly browned, flipping several times to prevent overbrowning; transfer to paper towel-lined cookie sheet to drain.
