These doughnuts bring back lots of childhood memories. My mom would make this as a treat for us. I loved rolling them in sugar or in cinnamon and sugar. They are so yummy. Ingredients:
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast |
1 cup warm buttermilk (110° to 115°) |
1-1/2 cups warm mashed potatoes (without added milk and butter) |
3 eggs |
1/3 cup butter, melted |
3 cups sugar, divided |
4 teaspoons baking powder |
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
6 cups all-purpose flour |
oil for deep-fat frying |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Directions:
2. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm buttermilk. Add the potatoes, eggs and butter. Add 2 cups sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Do not knead. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
3. Turn onto a floured surface; divide into fourths. Roll each portion to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. doughnut cutter.
4. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry doughnuts, a few at a time, until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Combine remaining sugar and cinnamon; roll doughnuts in cinnamon-sugar while warm. Yield: about 2 - 2 1/2 donughts.
