1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 quart oil for deep frying

Stir the vinegar into the milk, and let stand for a few minutes until thick.
In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until smooth.
Beat in the egg and vanilla until well blended.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the sugar mixture
alternating with the vinegar and milk.
Roll dough out on a floured surface to 1/3 inch thickness.
Cut into doughnuts using a donut cutter. Let stand for about 10 minutes.
