Another favorite out of my Amish cookbook ! We used to live near an Amish community and their doughnuts and breads were unbelievable ! Time listed does not include the rising or frying. Ingredients:
3 eggs |
6 cups flour |
2 cups warm water |
2 tablespoons salt |
4 tablespoons yeast or 2 compressed yeast cakes |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup lard (or shortening) |
2 teaspoons white karo |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar |
2 -3 tablespoons hot water |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 2 cups of warm water.
2. Add eggs, flour, salt, sugar and lard to yeast mixture.
3. Mix well.
4. Cover with a tea towel and let rise until doubled.
5. Roll out to 1/2 thick, cutting with a doughnut cutter.
6. Let rise again, 30-45 minutes.
7. Fry until golden on one side then flip and do the other side. This takes just a few minutes per side.
8. Drain on paper towels and dip in glaze.
9. Glaze mixture:.
10. Mix Karo syrup, vanilla, powdered sugar and 2 T. hot water together.
11. If consistency is not thin enough, add the other tablespoon water.
