(3bacl?J?A--~n »—1 ' — -e** WaiXW so w a e>> «• prepared by Dally Democrat—Betty Crocker Homs Service Department SUPERLATIVE DOUGHNUTS DOUGHNUTS are excellent picnic fare—particularly if one is addicted to out-door breakfasts. And the early | 1 morning spring sunshine with dew still shimmering on I the vivid green grasses, and an orchestral accompaniment of bird songs, is about as lovely a setting for the first meal of a Sunday—or Saturday—morning that I know of. And how is this for the meal itself? ... Fresh strawberries ... bacon, eggs, buns and plump doughnuts with plenty of picnic coffee. •

There are two atylea in doughnuts, you know, (not including the raised Bismarck kind!---first there are the plain rather bready-taating doughnuts—and then there are the cake-style doughnuts that are much more fluffy and that have I the texture of a cake. These picnic doughnuts that 1 have in mind lielong to the cake-type class. They are wonderfully plump and fluffy —and not in the least dry or powdery when It come* to eating them. In fact It’s their superior eating quality that makes them superlative doughnuts. You can suite yourself about whethtr you will enjoy them "a* is** or bountifully anointed with confectioners' sugar. I might add that the recipe for these doughnuts comes from ol’ Virginy -the home of some of our most celebrated American foods. ■ Another feature that will endear these superlative doughnuts to your hearts is that you may make them either with sweet milk, sour milk or buttermilk. I'll give you the directions for the sweat milk doughnut* first: Superlative Doughnut* 3 tbsp, shortening % cup sugar | 3 eggs 1 cup freshly boiled and mashed potatoes (packed) 2% cups all-purpose flour 4 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. mace H tsp. nutmeg '« cup milk Cream shortening, and add the sugar gradually.

powder, salt and sp:ces together and add to the ereamed mixture | alternately with the milk. Turn the dough onto a floured, cloth-covered board, and fold over 2 or 3 times to smooth up. Roll out gently a little of the dough at a time ’« to i h inch thick. Cut with a doughnut j cutter. Drop circles of dough into hot lard. Have the lard about 4 . inches deep in a heavy kettle. (It will take about 4 pounds of lard.) Fry only as many doughnuts at a time as can be turned easily. A* , soon as u doughnut rises to the | surface of the fat and first begins to show a little color, turn it over. Then turn again aa soon a* the ’ underside becomes brown. Lift from the fat when completely i brown—about 3 minutes. Use a long 2 tine fork and handle care- I fully so as not to prick the dough- | nuts. Drain over a kettle before placing doughnuts on brown absorbent paper in a warm place to drain thoroughly. If you are using a di-ep fat thermometer, have it at , 390" F. (when a cube of bread will i brown in the fat In 40 seconds) . I Just before you drop the dough- 1 nut* into it. You see the fat Im- i mediately cool* when the dough- I nuts are dropped in. It should be at 370 to 880’ F, (when a cube of bread browns in 50 seconds) while the doughnuts are frying. You’ll find that this recipe will make 3 dosen doughnuts 2ft inchea in diameter. Sour Milk or Buttermilk Variation: Add ft tap. soda to ft cup <our milk or buttermilk and stir i until it bubble*. Decrease the baking powder to 8 tap. I hope you’ll I have occasion to make these doughi: nut* with the sour milk because 1 they are so very, very delicious, > BMtr cnrtw, < problems, send a letter requeetlng ■e of thia newspaper.
