SOUR MILK DOUGHNUTS

  • 2 eggs, beaten light,
  • 3 even tablespoonfuls melted butter,
  • 4 cups Gold Medal Flour,
  • 1 cup sugar,
  • 1 cup sour milk,
  • ½ teaspoonful soda,
  • 1 saltspoonful each of cinnamon and salt.

Enough more Gold Medal Flour to make just soft enough to roll out. Mix the dough rather soft at first. Have the board well floured, and the fat heating. Roll only a large spoonful at first. Cut into rings with an open cutter. Mix the trimmings with another spoonful. Work it lightly till well floured and roll again. Roll and cut all out before frying. The fat should be hot enough for the dough to rise to the top instantly.

DOUGHNUTS AND CRULLERS

The fat should be in a deep pot (to obviate any danger of boiling over), and should be of sufficient depth to cover the dough, when first dropped in. It should be smoking hot, or the dough will absorb grease and be soggy. Not more than half a dozen should be dropped in at any one time, or the fat will be unduly cooled and some of the cakes submerged during the entire cooking; in which case the cakes when cooked will be greasy and not light. One or two pieces of dough should be cooked first as testers. When done the cakes should be drained on unglazed paper, then rolled in powdered sugar.

Drop in piles about the size of an English walnut—1½ inches apart on a buttered sheet. Spread with a spatula and press the half of an almond meat on top of each. Bake in a moderate oven 12 to 15 minutes.

GERMAN DOUGHNUTS

Molasses cookies are very common cakes, but they are not easy to make, for the reason that there is no rule you can work by that will answer in all cases. All molasses does not work alike; some kinds will bear more water than others, and the weather has to be taken into consideration. In cold weather you can use more water than in warm weather. Sometimes you can use the same quantity of water as molasses. Be very careful and not get the dough too stiff, and do not work any more than is necessary to mix.

SPICE CAKES

Two cups sugar, ½ cup butter, cup sour milk, 2 cups Gold Medal Flour, a good ½ teaspoonful soda, the yolks of 5 eggs, 3 teaspoonfuls cinnamon, 2 teaspoonfuls cloves, 2 teaspoonfuls allspice, 1 nutmeg.
