Doughnut Recipe

1 cup sugar

3 eggs beaten

1 Tablespoon salt

Mix together

2 cups hot water

1 cup lard or crisco (we used crisco)

2 cups mashed potatoes or potato flakes mixed with water to equal 2 cups (we used potato flakes)

1 Tablespoon lecithin (this helps make the donuts soft)

2 Tablespoons yeast dissolved in 2 cups warm water

10 cups occident flour

2 cups donut mix 

Knead together and let rise for approxiamately 1 hour in a warm place.
Roll out. Cut donut shapes with cutter or the top of a glass works well.
Poke with a fork to prevent air bubbles later when frying.
 Let rise.  Fry in vegetable oil approx. 1 min each side or until golden brown.
Let cool.  Fill with cream or glaze and enjoy!
