Doughnuts

Homemakers Best Tested
These are the best cakey doughnuts we have ever tasted. For smaller families, the recipe is easily halved. The dough is quite soft, so work it patiently; it's certainly worth the effort.

Ingredients

1 cup  (250 mL)  10% coffee cream
1 cup  (250 mL)  whipping cream
2 tsp  (10 mL)  vanilla
6 cups  (1.5 L)  all-purpose flour
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  baking powder
1-1/2 tsp  (7 mL)  salt
1-1/2 tsp  (7 mL)  ground ginger
6 eggs
2 cups  (500 mL)  granulated sugar (approx)
Lard, shortening or cooking oil
cinnamon

Preparation

In bowl, whisk together 10% and whipping creams and vanilla. In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and ginger. In large bowl, beat eggs with 2 cups (500 mL) sugar until light and fluffy; gradually beat in cream mixture. Mix in flour mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

On floured work surface, roll out dough to 1/3 inch (8 mm) thickness. Cut out pieces with doughnut cutter.

Line baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. In large saucepan or deep fryer, heat lard to 375F/190C. Cook doughnuts, turning often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Place on paper towel–lined baking sheets to absorb excess oil. In paper bag, mix together sugar and cinnamon to taste; shake doughnuts to coat.

Makes about 80 doughnuts.
