Bread Machine Doughnuts

Made these for Jon this morning. I covered them with sugar, cinnamon and orange zest. He really liked them.

Bread Machine Doughnuts


1 1/4 cups milk
1 beaten egg
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups white flour
1 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast

Measure ingredients into your ABM baking pan.
Select dough setting and start machine.
Roll finished dough to 1/2 inch thick.
Cut with a 2-1/2 inch donut cutter.
Let rise, covered, 30 minutes or until doubled.
Deep fry in fat at 375 degrees.
Turn doughnuts as they rise to the surface. Fry until brown on both sides.
Drain on absorbent paper towels. Either glaze or dust with powdered sugar

I don't have a bread machine, your doughnuts sound yummy! I Love powder sugar and cinnamon. Cookie

Your sugar cinnamon and orange zest sounds so much better than a glaze or dusting of powdered sugar.

Sunny Anderson made doughnuts one day on her show from canned biscuits and put sugar, cinnamon and orange zest on them. That is where the idea came from. The doughnut recipe came from recipezaar.com
