Bloom the yeast in a bowl with 100°F water and 1 teaspoon of sugar for a few minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine 3.5 cups of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Add the bloomed yeast mixture, 1 egg, 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of shortening to the flour mixture and mix well.

Gradually add flour, about a cup at a time, until a dough forms, adjusting with additional flour if necessary.

Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it is firm and springy.

Grease a bowl with oil and place the dough inside, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 45 minutes to an hour until doubled in size.

Prepare the cream filling by combining 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water in a pot, bring to a boil, and let cool.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled syrup with 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup Crisco, and 1/2 cup butter, mixing until fluffy.

Gradually add 4-4.5 cups of powdered sugar, mixing until the filling holds its shape.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick and cut into six donuts using cookie cutters.

Let the cut donuts rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep fryer to the appropriate temperature and fry the donuts in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
