Vegetable oil for frying
Flour for dusting
Powdered or granulated sugar for

Using a whisk, blend together the flour, baking

reserve. Put the sugar and shortening in a large
bowl. With an electric mixer on low speed, beat to
blend and break up the shortening. Add the
applesauce and egg; 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.

2-Quart. Deep Fryer 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.
