My family never cared for doughnuts much until they tried these. Their light-as-a-feather texture and golden brown color are so appealing. Ingredients:
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast |
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°) |
1-1/4 cups warm milk (110° to 115°) |
1/2 cup canola oil |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 eggs |
6 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
oil for deep-fat frying |
confectioners' sugar or additional sugar, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add warm milk and oil. Add sugar, salt and eggs. Stir in flour (dough will be very sticky). Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
2. Stir dough down and let rise for 45 minutes.
3. Stir dough down; roll out on a well-floured surface to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-in. cutter. Place on greased baking sheets; cover and let rise for 45 minutes.
4. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat 1 in. oil to 375°. Fry doughnuts, a few at a time, until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectionersâ sugar if desired. Yield: 18 servings.
