Recipe Introduction

These are true old-fashioned homemade doughnuts. Your family and friends will love these. Serve hot with a tall glass of ice cold milk.

List of Ingredients

1 Cup Sugar
3 Tablespoons Shortening
2 Eggs
1 Cup Milk
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 Teaspoon Mace
1 Tablespoon Hop Flavored Malt Extract
1 Teaspoon Salt
5 Cups Pastry Flour
4 Teaspoons Baking Powder
Powdered Sugar


Recipe

Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs slightly beaten. Mix malt extract with warm milk and vanilla and beat a few seconds with egg beater. Add to sugar and egg mixture. Sift dry ingredients and add to mixture. Divide into fourths. Toss one-fourth onto a well floured bread board, roll to one-half inch thickness, cut with a doughnut cutter and fry in deep fat at 360-370 degrees or until a piece of bread dropped in fat will brown in sixty seconds. Lift doughnuts out of fat with a wire whisk egg beater and place on absorbent paper. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Makes 2 dozen average size doughnuts.
