Answer 1

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 egg yolks, or 2 whole eggs
1 c. sugar
2 tbsp. soft shortening
3/4 c. sour milk
3 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Turn onto floured board. Roll dough to about 1/3 inch thick.
Let rise 20 minutes. Cut with doughnut cutter. Heat deep fryer
to 380 degrees. Oil will cool as foods are dropped in.
Keep oil at 370 degrees at all times. If grease is too hot or too cold,
food will not turn out. Drop doughnuts in oil (asmany as can
easily be turned). Turn as they rise to surface and show color.
Fry about 2 or 3 minutes completely brown on both sides.
Lift with fork and place on absorbent paper.
Cool and sprinkle with sugar.

Answer 6

I am a great cook, this isn't the easiest for beginners but you can't learn, unless you try.
If you find one without yeast you may find it easier, but it will not be light and fluffy. Get a good oil thermometer, and a deep pot. Please put it on the back burner and always turn your handles in. God forbid you hit the handle or a child grabs it, no matter what is in it, lives can be ruined and lost so innocently.
Be careful and have fun

Answer 7

first make your dough, make balls of dough about half the size you want the end donut to be and leave them somewhere warm to rise and double in size. once they have you will to fry them in deep oil. you can pump the jam into the middle afterwards and then sugar them
