Description
What could be tastier than fresh doughnuts? Your family will love these cinnamon-applesauce wonders!
Ingredients:
- 3 1/3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
- 1 cup applesauce
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- Vegetable oil
- Cinnamon-sugar mixture, if desired
Directions:
- Beat 1 1/3 cups of the flour and the remaining ingredients except oil and cinnamon-sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed, scraping bowl constantly, until blended. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in remaining 2 cups flour. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour or until dough stiffens.
- Heat oil (2 to 3 inches) in deep fryer or 3-quart saucepan to 375°F. Divide dough in half. Place half of the dough on well-floured cloth-covered surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Gently roll dough 3/8 inch thick. Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Repeat with remaining dough.
