Milkmaid's Recipe Box: Raised Doughnuts*

Milkmaid's Recipe Box

FOOD, FOOD, FOOD! I'm such a FARMER at heart-- even a CALF knows that so much in life is about the FOOD! (A bit of a "bio" about me can be found way down near the bottom.)

You can find a recipe index entitled "Labels" down along the right side, starting below the picture of the farm. Then, below the "Label" list are pictures of some of my old "standbys"-- click on their picture and it should take you to the recipe.

You will see no advertising on my blog; this means there is no monetary benefit for me having "visitors" or "joiners"-- having said that, if you do wish to JOIN my blog, you can do so by scrolling w-a-y down to near the bottom of the page...

Raised Doughnuts*

The photos below belong to me.

This is the recipe I should have tried before I tried the last one I tried! Follow THAT jargon, huh! I didn't do these up all fancy-like, but they sure are light and 'poofy'.

Remembering the Saturday afternoon raised doughnuts my mother would make when everyone was so busy around the farm with outside projects (jobs), I've been wanting to learn how to make them for a long while and had tried various recipes-- for me, none of them turned out a doughnut as light and as my mother's! (My mother had her doughnut recipe "in her head".)

About these?.....I say.....
"M-m-m-m-m-m-m!"

By the very feel of the dough with this recipe, I was so sure these were going to be LIGHT, and I was right!

Because I used a large doughnut cutter, these are
almost 5" across and just under 2" thick.

No wonder these doughnuts taste so much

like the ones my own mother made--

because they just are!
