One day, my father got a hankering for doughnuts and asked me to make him some. I ended up trying these. Dad Ingredients:
2 eggs |
1 cup sugar |
2 cups cold mashed potatoes (mashed with milk and butter) |
3/4 cup buttermilk |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract |
4-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
4 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg |
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger |
oil for deep-fat frying |
additional sugar, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar. Add the potatoes, buttermilk, butter and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and ginger; gradually add to egg mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; roll to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. doughnut cutter. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°.
3. Fry doughnuts, a few at a time, until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Roll warm doughnuts in sugar if desired. Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen.
