Granny's Cinnamon Sugar Doughnuts
- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 12
- Yields:
-
2 Dozen
- Serves:
- 24
ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
- 3⁄4 cup sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 3 1⁄2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1⁄4 teaspoons salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground mace
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup milk
- 1⁄2 cup cinnamon
- 1 cup sugar
directions
- Mix together the shortening, sugar, and egg yolks. Into another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and spices. Stir into the first mixture alternately with 1 cup milk. Stir until dry ingredients are moistened, handling dough as little as possible. Roll dough to about 3/8-inch thickness on a floured cloth covered surface. Let rolled out dough stand for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat deep fat to 370°. Fat should be at least 1 1/2 inches deep. Fat is ready when a doughnut center browns in about 1 minute. Keep temperature as steady as possible. Cut doughnuts out with floured 2 1/2 or 3-inch doughnut cutter.
- Fry doughnuts in the hot fat, turning carefully with a wooden spoon handle when the first crack appears. Continue cooking and turning until browned nicely. This will take about 1 1/2 minute total frying time.
- Mix cinnamon and sugar in brown paper bags and drop hot doughnuts into mix, shaking to coat.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Even though I am still young (25) Life experince has aged me alot.
I learned to cook at both of my grandmother's knees (One southern American, one southern Irish) when I was about five. By ten I started collecting cookbooks and experinmenting on my own.
As a latch key kid I cooked for my four younger brothers and sisters.
My mom ran a small deli before she died when I was 17 so alot of my recies debuted there.
Now I run my own catering Buisness.
I am married to a wnderful man for five years now. I am a six year old daughter, sons who are four and three.
We are also raising my 14 year old sister and nine Year old stepsister and have a 16 year old foster daughter, all of which love cooking with me.
I am writing a cookbook with the hopes that when I pass I can leave my recipes for them
My cookbook collection has now reached over 1200.
Thank you for trying and reviewing my recipes..
