For those people who are onetime enough to know what a Spudnut is...this recipe testament alive a treat. For those of yous lot likewise young to squall upward Spudnuts...let's precisely say that they were the best donut inward the universe. I heard that at that topographic point are still a few Spudnut shops around, but it appears that they are few together with far between.

This recipe (from the Idaho Potato Commission) makes a LOT of Spudnut-style donuts (about iv dozen) so yous lot powerfulness wishing to half the recipe if yous lot create upward one's listen to construct them. If yous lot are non experienced amongst yeast doughs, I don't recommend trying this recipe, however, if yous lot comport keep had flush moderate success amongst yeast doughs, I hope yous lot orbit the recipe a give the sack (it is non a hard recipe at all).

The donuts are existent moist, sweetness together with comport keep precisely a HINT of lemon. My married adult human being is a donut (and Spudnut) connoisseur from way back, together with he gave these donuts ii thumbs up!!

Cream the carbohydrate together with shortening together with vanquish inward the usual depression temperature potatoes, eggs, cooled milk, yeast water, tabular array tabular array salt together with lemon extract. Gradually add together together the flour to construct a soft dough, knead well. The dough testament alive quite sticky, but holds together well. It should alive a softer dough than breadstuff dough.


 Cover dough amongst plastic together with allow it elevate inward a warm family until doubled inward size (this takes a huge bowl together with well-nigh an hour). After an hour, depict dough out of bowl together with onto the counter. Sprinkle amongst flour together with knead it a lilliputian to acquire most of the air out of it. If dough seems truly sticky, precisely flour your board. Roll the dough out to a half inch thickness. Cut amongst well-floured cutter.

GLAZE

1 pound of sifted powdered sugar

1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

Whisk inward enough boiling H2O to construct a lean glaze, drizzle over donuts.

And don't forget the donut holes!!!

NOTE: Recipe calls for shortening, I used butter flavored Crisco.

NOTE: Recipe calls for prepared instant potatoes. I prepared my potatoes per the box instructions including water, milk, butter together with salt.

NOTE: Recipe calls for a tablespoon of lemon extract. That sounds similar a lot, but it leaves precisely a tiny HINT of lemon flavour inward the inward determination product.

NOTE: Recipe calls for 6-8 cups of flour. I used all 8 cups together with it was no where close every bit "solid" every bit breadstuff dough, so concur off a viscid dough.

NOTE: I allow my donuts elevate on squares of sprayed parchment paper. If yous lot practise that, together with so yous lot tin can option upward the donut without deforming or deflating it together with gently plough it over inward your hand together with gently cutis off the paper before yous lot tranquillity the donut into the hot oil.

NOTE: I comport keep a 2" donut cutter, but it precisely seemed to construct a existent tiny donut, so I cutting the bottom together with spill out out of a pineapple tin can together with used that every bit my cutter. I cutting out the heart of the donut amongst a tiny cookie cutter.
NOTE: I used my smallest electrical frying pan amongst 3" of vegetable stone oil to kid these donuts. The electrical kid pan allows yous lot to easily conform the stone oil to 375 degrees together with since yous lot should lone kid ii or iii donuts at a time, the smaller electrical kid pan makes sense.
