Ingredients
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 4 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Oil for deep frying
  • Powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons shortening
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1 pkg. yeast
Instructions

Dissolve yeast in warm water according to package instructions; set aside.

Place sugar, shortening, salt and hot water in bowl. Stir until shortening is melted and sugar is dissolved; cool to lukewarm.

Add cream, egg, 3 cups flour and yeast to sugar-shortening mixture. Attach bowl and dough hook. Turn to speed "2" and mix 2 minutes.

Add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl, about 5 minutes longer.

Place dough on lightly floured board and roll into a 10x24 inch rectangle. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into 2-inch squares. In large heavy saucepan or deep fat fryer, heat oil to 360 degrees. Fry doughnuts, turning to brown on both sides, about 3 minutes.

Drain on absorbent towels and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
