List of Ingredients




1-1/4 cups slightly warm water or milk
1 tablespoon yeast
6 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup canola oil
2 egg yolks
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
3-1/2 cups to 4 cups unbleached all purpose (or use half all-purpose and half bread flour)
Oil and shortening (three parts oil and one part melted shortening for frying) to fill up a good two-thirds of fryer
Fine or regular sugar for coating donuts
1-1/2 cups jelly or jam (raspberry or apricot), optional


Recipe



Whisk together the yeast, water and sugar, salt, oil, egg yolks, egg, vanilla and lemon extract. Blend well and stir in most of the flour to form a soft dough. Knead by hand, machine or in bread machine (dough setting), adding flour as needed. The dough should have some body, not too slack, supple, smooth and elastic. Place in a greased plastic bag and refrigerate at least 2 to 4 hours or overnight. If you are in a hurry, allow dough to rest at least 20 minutes, then proceed.

If dough has risen at all, punch or flatten down, then pinch off pieces and form into small balls, about the size of golf balls. Otherwise, roll dough out to about three-quarters of an inch. Using a two and half inch or three inch biscuit cutter, cut out rounds.

Cover and let sit 15 minutes while heating oil. In a deep fryer, or heavy dutch oven, heat about four inches of oil or a combination of oil and melted shortening. Add the doughnuts to the hot oil (temperature should be about 375 degrees) and fry until the undersides are deep brown. Turn over once and finish frying the other side. Lift doughnuts out using a slotted spoon and drain well on paper towels.
To fill, make a small opening and spoon in jam or jelly, or just sprinkle lightly with regular or extra fine granulated sugar by shaking doughnuts in a paper bag.

Note: It's a good idea to test oil temperature by frying one doughnut to start with. Once the doughnut seems done, take it out and cut it open to see if the inside is cooked.

Makes 36-42 Doughnuts.
