Answer 1

I've made this doughnut recipe for years and the family always love it. You can either put a cinnamon/sugar topping on it or a glazed. I prefer the glazed. It has nice spices in it.

WONDERFUL DOUGHNUTS

4 eggs, beaten
2/3 c sugar
1/3 c milk
1/3 c melted butter
3 1/2 c flour
3 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Combine the eggs and sugar; beat until light. Add milk and cooled butter. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add to egg mixture; mix until smooth. Chill soft dough thoroughly in refrigerator. Roll dough out gently 1/3" thick. Cut with floured doughnut cutter; let stand 10 to 15 minutes. Heat salad oil 3 to 4: deep in a heavy kettle or deep-fat fryer to 375º. Transfer doughnuts to kettle of fat on a broad spatula, using care not to alter shape. (If possible, place board of doughnuts near frying kettle.) Slip into hot fat. Add only enough doughnuts at a time as can float on the fat or that can be turned easily. Turn doughnuts as they rise to the surface. Fry 2 to 3 minutes, or just until doughnuts are golden brown. Lift doughnuts from fat with kitchen fork (tines through center holes), using care not to prick them. Drain on paper towels in a warm place. Makes 30 doughnuts.

TOPPINGS:

To coat with sugar: Shake warm doughnuts, one at a time, in a paper bag containing 1/2 c granulated sugar or powdered sugar. To increase spicy flavor, stir 1 tsp cinnamon into the sugar and mix well before adding the doughnuts.

To glaze: Add 1/3 c boiling water to 1 c powdered sugar. Mix well. Dip warm doughnuts, one at a time, into the warm glaze.

Enjoy!

Microwave a million cup of milk so as that that's heat (no longer warm) upload the 5 teaspoons of yeast (2 packets) and a pinch of sugar and stir. permit stand for about 5 minutes In a bowl integrate 2 cups of all purpose flour a million/2 cup of heat mashed potatoes (see the backside of the web page) a million/2 teaspoon of salt a million/4 cup of sugar Then interior the bowl upload The milk combination and a pair of Tablespoons of oil blend the dough properly via hand or in a mixer with a dough hook for 3 minutes.blend the dough properly via hand or in a mixer with a dough hook for 3 minutes. prepare your kneading floor via spreading some tablespoons of flour on a comfortable floor. placed the dough interior the process the flour and sprinkle somewhat flour on genuine and on your palms. Knead the dough some situations. as quickly as the dough has been kneaded, unfold it out to be a 0.5 inch thick alongside with your palms or with a rolling pin. Now it's time to shrink out the donuts, you need to use a donut cutter or... merely use something appropriate to the comparable length and then... discover something to make the hollow with. place the donuts on a floured pan to permit upward push as you get the oil waiting. enable them to upward push for a entire of ten minutes (it takes approximately 5 minutes for the oil to warmth up). Pour a pair of 0.5 inch of oil (vegetable oil) right into a forged iron pan. an electric powered fry pan works great additionally. The oil must be approximately 360 ranges which on my range is approximately Medium to Medium excessive. If the oil starts to smoke that's lots too warm. try the oil with particularly some the scraps of dough and while that's waiting cook dinner the donuts till golden brown on the two area. enable the donuts to kick back on a rack or on some paper so as that the oil soaks off.

10-minute Doughnuts

Ingredients:

Pillsbury biscuit dough
cooking oil (enough to float the dough on)
sugar
metal bottle cap (for making holes)


Directions: Warm the cooking oil in a deep frying pan. Fashion the bisuit dough into nice doughy blobs. Cut out doughnut holes with bottle cap. Place dough into pan then immediately begin to flip them over with a spatula or other flipping instrument of your choice. Once the dough is a light golden brown, remove them from the pan. If you want, pour a small amount of sugar into a ziplock bag, along with a doughnut and shake until doughnut is covered.
These quick doughnuts will be, in my opinion, much better if you substitute the cheaper store brand (or "generic" brand) biscuit dough for the Pillsbury brand. Just about every store I visit that carries canned biscuits with their own store lable gets them, aparently, from the same supplier, in Texas (I think.) Be sure, also, to get the regular variety, NOT the BUTTERMILK kind!

If you like glazed, you can slowly blend milk into confectioner's (also known as powdered) sugar until the right consistancy is reached. Use something like a whisk or electric mixer, for no lumps. Dip the hot doughnuts into glaze, let excess drain, and set aside until all are done... or eat 'em as you go! YUM.
