These are my grandma Clark's donuts. Our family LOVES them! They always go over quickly. I also entered them into the local fair and won a blue ribbon with them! They actually do last more than 1-2 days and taste OK although soggy. I prefer them fresh, warm, and crunchy. The yield is just a guess, I never remember how many they make and by the time I think to count half are gone:) I fry mine 3 at a time in a fry daddy in vegetable oil, my grandma uses a square electric skillet and fries 4-6 at a time. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1 3/4 teaspoons nutmeg |
1 1/4 teaspoons salt |
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon |
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
2 tablespoons liquid shortening (or vegetable oil) |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
2 eggs, beaten |
1 cup milk |
3 cups flour |
icing |
2 cups powdered sugar |
1 -2 tablespoon milk |
Directions:
1. Mix sugar, spices, salt, and baking powder.
2. Add shortening and vanilla; mix.
3. Add eggs, mix.
4. Add milk and flour; mix.
5. Drop into hot oil using donut dropper. (if mixture is too thick mix in a bit of milk-too thin a bit of flour).
6. Fry in oil turning when first crack appears. -be careful not to crowd.
7. Remove and place on either a drying rack or brown paper bag to drain oil.
8. Ice while warm with powdered sugar icing.
