Doughnuts 12 Recipe

Heat fat or oil (3 to 4 inches) to 375° in deep fat fryer or pan. Measure 1 1/2 cups flour and the remaining ingredients into large mixer bowl. Blend 1/2 minute on low speed, scraping bowl constantly. Beat 2 minutes medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in remaining flour. Turn dough onto well-floured cloth-covered board; roll around lightly to coat with flour. Roll dough gently 3/8 inch thick. Cut with floured doughnut cutter. With wide spatula, slide doughnuts into hot fat. Turn doughnuts as they rise to the surface. Fry 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown on all sides. Carefully remove from oil, don't prick the surface. Put on paper towel, coat in sugar, cinnamon, plain or frosted.
