I love, love, love doughnuts but buying them can get expensive. This recipe is economical and so delicious. It beats any store-bought doughnut. âSherry Flaquel, Cutler Bay, Florida Ingredients:
4-1/2 to 5 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/4 cups sugar |
4 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
3 eggs, lightly beaten |
1 cup 2% milk |
1/4 cup canola oil |
2 tablespoons orange juice |
4 teaspoons grated orange peel |
oil for deep-fat frying |
confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 4-1/2 cups flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
2. Combine the eggs, milk, oil, orange juice and peel; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Turn onto a floured surface; roll to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-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. Dust warm doughnuts with confectionersâ sugar.
5. To freeze, wrap doughnuts in foil; transfer to a resealable plastic freezer bag. May be frozen for up to 3 months.
6. To use frozen doughnuts: Remove foil. Thaw at room temperature. Warm if desired. Dust warm doughnuts with confectionersâ sugar. Yield: 20 doughnuts.
