PILLSBURY DOUGHNUT RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix 1 1/4 cups of the flour, 3/4 cup of the sugar, the baking powder, baking soda and salt until well mixed. Set aside.
• In large bowl, beat eggs, milk and melted butter with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add flour-sugar mixture; beat on medium speed 1 minute, scraping bowl occasionally or until smooth. Gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups of the remaining flour (dough will be slightly soft and sticky).
• Heat oil in heavy 3-quart saucepan or deep fryer to 375°F.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle work surface with 1 tablespoon flour. Gently roll dough in flour until well coated and dough is soft. Add 1 tablespoon flour at a time, if needed, to desired dough consistency. With floured rolling pin, roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Using 1 1/4-inch round cookie cutter dipped in flour, cut doughnut holes; reroll scraps. Keep dough covered with plastic wrap while frying.
• Carefully, drop 4 to 5 doughnut holes at a time into hot oil. Fry doughnut holes, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes or until deep golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Immediately roll each doughnut hole in remaining 1/4 cup sugar.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, butter, and vanilla. Mix until well blended. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Heat oil in a deep heavy skillet or deep-fryer to 370 degrees F (185 degrees C). On a floured board, roll chilled dough out to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a 3 inch round cutter to cut out doughnuts. Use a smaller cutter to cut holes from center. If you do not have a small cutter, use the mouth of a bottle.
• Fry doughnuts in hot oil until golden brown, turning once. Remove from oil to drain on paper plates. Combine the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 cup sugar in a large resealable bag. Place a few warm donuts into the bag at a time, seal and shake to coat.
