Old Time Drop Doughnuts

Recipe from Gooseberry Patch

2 eggs

1 cup of sugar divided

1 T. shortening, melted

1 cup of milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 1/2 cup all purpose flour

2 t. baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon

oil for deep frying

 

In a mixing bowl, beat eggs until light; blend in 1/2 cup sugar, shortening, milk and vanilla. Set aside. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in another mixing bowl; stir into egg mixture to make a soft dough. Mix together cinnamon and remaining sugar; set aside. Heat several inches oil to 365 degrees in a deep saucepan. Drop dough into hot oil by teaspoonfuls, a few at a time. Fry until doughnuts turn themselves over and are golden on all sides. Drain on paper towels; roll in cinnamon mixture or, just sugar or how we like them with powdered sugar, roll while still warm.
