Crème Fraîche adds a rich finishing touch to these puffy sweets. Ingredients:
1 cup water |
1/2 cup butter or margarine |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
2 large eggs |
vegetable oil |
powdered sugar |
strawberry preserves |
crème fraîche |
Directions:
1. Bring 1 cup water, butter, and sugar to a boil in a heavy saucepan. Add flour, and cook, whisking constantly, 3 to 4 minutes or until mixture thickens. Remove from heat; cool.
2. Spoon mixture into a mixing bowl. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, at medium speed with an electric mixer, beating well after each addition. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
3. Pat dough to 1/8-inch thickness, and cut dough with star- or dreidel-shaped cookie cutters.
4. Pour oil to depth of 1/2 inch; heat to 375°. Fry doughnuts, in batches, 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
5. Microwave preserves in a glass bowl at HIGH 1 to 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring once. Serve doughnuts with preserves and Crème Fraîche.
