Ring-shaped baked goods such as cakes, bagels and doughnuts are often
eaten on New Year’s Day to bring a year of luck full circle. Sometimes,
a coin, trinket or whole nut gets put into the batter, and whoever
discovers it in their piece is supposedly blessed with extra good
fortune!

 2-3/4" doughnut cutter.

 In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to
 375ºF/190ºC. Fry doughnuts, a few at a time, until
 golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

 In a small bowl, mix glaze ingredients until smooth.
 Color glaze if desired. Dip doughnuts into glaze; add
 sprinkles if desired.
