Mini Donuts

Post by seasons » Tue Jun 06, 2017 9:31 am

I'm looking for two different recipes.

I need a mini donut recipe like you would have at the fairs, baking in oil.

Also a donut recipe that I can bake in an electric baker. (I tried a few and they are all pretty icky.)

2 recipes for you

Buttermilk Doughnuts

3 Eggs
1 1/2 c Sugar
3 tb Oil
1 1/2 c Buttermilk
1 ts Ground ginger
1 ts Ground nutmeg
1 ts Vanilla
1/2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Baking soda
1 ts Salt
5 1/2 c White flour, not sifted

Preheat fat fryer to 350F. Mix the eggs, sugar, oil, and buttermilk
with a wire whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the yolks are broken
up and distributed. Add the spices, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda,
and salt; mix well. Fold the flour into the mixture until the ingredients
are no longer wet. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. The batter will thicken
by itself without needing more flour which would toughen the doughnuts.
Drop half of the dough onto a floured board and knead lightly into a ball
with folded ends underneath. Roll the dough into a round shape about 1/2
inch thick. Cut with a doughnut cutter. Knead the leftover dough into the
second half of the mixture. Repeat kneading and rolling. Be very sparing
with the flour. Dust the dough very lightly, but don't over flour. Your
dough should not be sticky if left to rest for 5 to 10 minutes as instructed.
Cook the doughnuts in hot oil, 1 inch deep in the pan. Brown the doughnuts
for about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Makes 30 doughnuts and 30 holes
-----------------------------------
Buttermilk Doughnuts

3 1/2 c. plain flour
1 c. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
2 eggs
2 tbsp. shortening
3/4 c. buttermilk

Heat oil to 375 in a deep fryer or kettle. Measure 1 1/2 cups of
flour and the remaining ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Blend
1/2 minute on low speed. Beat 2 minutes on medium speed. Turn dough
on a floured board until floured. Roll dough to 3/8 inch thick.
Cut with a floured doughnut cutter. With a spatula slide doughnuts
in hot oil. Fry 2 or 3 minutes or until brown on both sides. Drain
and frost or sugar.
