I often enjoyed fresh, homemade donuts growing up. Never having made them myself, my Mom came over last week and we made a bunch. Delicious!!!Doughnuts
- 4 tbsp yeast
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 cups warm water
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 4 cups warm water
- 1 3/4 cup oil
- 8 eggs (beaten)
- salt to taste
- flour
Dissolve yeast in warm water with 2 tsp sugar and let stand 10 minutes. Add 4 cups warm water, oil, sugar, beaten eggs, salt. Add enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead well and let rise. Roll out about a half inch thick and cut out using a doughnut cutter. Let rise 1/2 hr and fry in hot fat.
*Best eaten the day they're made, but also quite good if frozen as soon as they're cool. We usually make a butter icing with a bit of cinnamon in it, to ice the doughnuts. One recipe makes about 6 dozen.
