    Doughnuts, an old-fashioned treat, are never quite as good when store-bought. Try them homemade!
    Ingredients:

    1 ¾ ounces fresh yeast
    1 ½ cups warm water
    1 Tbsp. sugar
    3 eggs
    ½ cup oil
    ½ cup sugar
    ½ cup non dairy creamer
    1 tsp. Vanilla extract
    1 tsp. Grated lemon peel
    6 to 7 cups of flour
    Also:
    Oil for frying
    Confectioners' sugar

    USE: 2-quart pot
    YIELDS: 5 to 6 dozen doughnuts

    In a large mixer bowl: place eggs, oil, sugar, nondairy creamer, vanilla, and grated lemon peel. Add yeast mixture; add flour until soft dough is formed. (Dough need not be dry; it should be softer than challah dough.) Knead for a few minutes. Cover and allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 to 1-½ hours.
    Roll out dough ½-inch thick on floured surface. Cut out circles with a doughnut cutter.

    Place 2 or 3 inches oil in a 2-quart saucepan and heat over a medium flame until hot. Place four doughnuts at a time in the oil. Brown on one side and then on the other. Remove with slotted spoon. Drain and cool on paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

    Note: To test if dough is ready for rolling, place a small piece in a glass of water-if the dough floats to the top, it is ready
