Recipe Introduction

These tasty doughnuts will please kids and adults alike.

List of Ingredients

3 Tablespoons Butter, Softened
3/4 Cup Sugar
3 Eggs
1 Cup Applesauce
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
4 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
3 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Salt
3/4 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
1/4 Cup Milk
Oil For Deep-Fat Frying
Additional Sugar



Recipe

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in applesauce and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk (the batter will be thick). In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375 degrees. Drop tablespoonfuls of batter, a few at a time, into hot oil. Turn with a slotted spoon and fry until golden, about 1 minute on each side. Drain on paper towels; roll in sugar while warm. Yields about 5 dozen.
