Applesauce Spice Doughnuts
Makes about 24
3¹⁄ cups unbleached, all-purpose flour, divided
3
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¹⁄ teaspoon freshly grated/ground nutmeg
8
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 cup applesauce
2 large eggs
flour for dusting
oil for frying
powdered or granulated sugar for dusting
Put the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices into a medium
bowl and stir with a whisk to blend; reserve. Put the sugar
and shortening into a large bowl. Using an electric mixer on
low speed, beat to blend and break up the shortening. Add
the applesauce and eggs; beat until smooth. Add the flour
mixture in two additions and blend on medium speed until
mixed. Cover dough and chill for a least 1 hour.
Divide dough into two equal portions. Place one portion
of dough on a generously floured surface and dust with
flour. Roll out to ½-inch thickness. Cut dough with a floured
doughnut cutter and place doughnuts on a waxed paper
lined baking sheet or tray. Repeat with remaining dough.
Re-roll scraps and repeat.
Heat vegetable oil in Waring Pro
until it reaches 375°F. Carefully lower 3 doughnuts into the
hot oil – do not overcrowd! Fry on each side, about 1½ to
2 minutes, turning with a slotted spoon or wire skimmer.
Remove and drain on layered paper towels. Pat gently to
remove any excess oil, and sprinkle with desired amount
of sugar.
