When I was a child these were great to wake up to.
We use to see what animal we would get... ! They cook up super fast..and dont take much to make them. I have cut the recipe so that it would not be too much because the original recipe feeds 22 people. (there was always someone looking for more so I think for my big family growning up it feed 10. haha!)
They are deep fried though...oh you are over that...good lets get started...
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup Milk
1 egg
2 table spoons melted butter
1 1/2 cups sifted flour *we use bread flour because that is what my family used when I was a kid... my aunt used all purpose...either is fine.* that being said...I like bread flour.
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
*You could add a maybe 1/4 to 1/2 a teaspoon of cinnamon to this dough if you like..I never do, because it can be added to the outside of the finished donut.*
mix the first 4 together in one bowl. mix the rest together in a different bowl.
add the wet to the dry...
mix till all is wet and no big lumps.
heat oil to about 360-365.
using 2 spoons.. make tiny lumps of dough into oil..be careful this is heavy dough, make them small... think donut holes..or smaller.
IF they cook to fast turn down the heat.
when they are done you can do this...
powdered sugar+ one of these topings:
cinnamon
cocoa
nuts that have been pounded to a powder..
really any toping you like.. take a brown paper bag...add sugar, topping and donuts...shake. tada....!
I prefer powder sugar, but you can use regular sugar too..
They are good by themselves too...
or with coffee even better.
(this is not a cake donut, but I think it is even better!)
Happy October to all of you!!
I hope you enjoy a little bite of my childhood.... to me this tastes like Autumn!
Dank meiner Lieben!!!!
