Quick and Easy Doughnuts

1 container buttermilk refrigerator biscuits
cooking oil (enough to fill pan to 1")
cinnamon and sugar
prepared frosting or powdered sugar

Heat oil until it is very hot. With a doughnut cutter, cut biscuits. Drop in hot oil. Flip as they brown - it only takes a minute, depending on how hot the oil is. Cook the centers also.

Place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Ice with prepared frosting, coat with cinnamon-sugar mixture or powdered sugar as desired.

Makes 10 doughnuts and 10 doughnut centers.

Answer 2

Here's a good one that I found.

DOUGHNUTS

1 qt. scalded milk
2 c. mashed potatoes, cooked without salt
1 c. shortening
2 pkgs. yeast, dissolve in 1/4 c. lukewarm water and 1 tbsp. sugar
2 eggs
2 tbsp. salt
About 14 c. bread flour

Scald milk, add mashed potatoes, sugar, shortening. Cool to lukewarm, add 4 cups flour and yeast. Let rise until light. Add remaining flour, eggs and salt. Let rise to double its bulk. Roll to 1/2 inch thick on floured board. Cut with doughnut cutter. Let doughnuts rise until double in size. Deep fry until golden brown, then turn over and brown other side. Can be sugared or glazed. Makes 4-5 dozen.

GLAZE FOR DOUGHNUTS:

10X sugar, milk, butter, vanilla, dash of salt. Make thin batter. Place doughnuts in glaze while hot.

Answer 3

Glazed Doughnuts

2 packages active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup scalded milk
1/3 cup shortening
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs


Glaze

2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Soften yeast in 110 degrees F warm water. Combine milk, shortening, sugar and salt, then cool to lukewarm. Add one cup of flour and beat well. Beat in softened yeast and eggs. Add enough of remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough. Mix well.

Place in a greased bowl and turn to grease the surface. Cover and chill for 3 hours or overnight.

Turn onto slightly floured surface and roll to 1/3-inch thick.

Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Let rise for 30-40 minutes until very light. While dough is rising, combine all ingredients of the glaze in a bowl and set aside.

Fry in 375 degrees F deep hot fat for 2 minutes or until brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels and dip them into the glazing bowl while warm.
