For those of you who like
Doughnuts, I recommend that you try a Spudnut. However, Spudnuts are slightly different from doughnuts. Spudnuts are made from
Potato flour and honestly just taste better. I feel that it is only fair to warn you that Spudnuts are
habit forming. Eating just one could turn you into an
addict. Because there are only few Spudnut Shops in the world, people have been trying to find out how to make them for the past 50 years. I came across an old
recipe for Spudnuts. This is not quite the real thing, but it's not bad for those of you who are too far away to enjoy
professionally made Spudnuts. (note- this is a
copy of the
original recipe- no
editing was involved.)
Ingredients
2 pks. yeast
1 C lukewarm water
3 C oleo (margarine for you younger people)
1 C sugar
2 C mashed potatoes (I've used instant on occasion)
2 C lukewarm milk (I've used instant also)
4 eggs
10-12 C flour
1 tsp salt
Mix dry ingredients and 10 C of the flour
together. Dissolve yeast in 1 C lukewarm water
(adding 1 Tbs of the 1 C sugar speeds action)- add
with remaining ingredients. Continue to add the
remaining flour up to the 12 cups total. Mix
dough, sticky as possible. Grease
large bowl, put in dough, cover, and let rise
until double in bulk. Roll out on lightly floured
board, cut with donut cutter dipped in flour, let
cut donuts rise again on the board, and fry in
deep fat that is really boiling. GLAZE: 1 box
powdered sugar, milk as needed, 1 tsp. vanilla.
Mix runny. Dip donuts, let drip on wooden spoon
handle in bowl. Yummy.
Hope you enjoy!
