    List of Ingredients




    3/4 cup lard or shortening
    3/4 cup sugar
    1 cup hot water
    1 cup warm water
    2 packages yeast
    2 eggs, beaten
    1 teaspoon salt
    6 or more cups flour

    In large bowl combine shortening, sugar, and warm water.

    Add yeast to water and set aside to dissolve.

    When shortening mixture has cooled, add eggs, salt, yeast mixture, and flour.

    Turn dough onto floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and set in warm place. Let rise until double. Roll dough about 1/2-inch thick and cut with drinking glass or doughnut cuter without the hole. Let rise again until double.

    Fry doughnuts in deep fat until browned, turning once. Cool and fill. To fill, cut a small hole with a sharp knife. Force filling into doughnuts with a cookie press or cake decorator.

    1-1/2 cups shortening
    2 egg whites
    2 tablespoons flour
