How to prepare "mardi gras doughnuts"
mardi gras doughnuts
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
oil for deep frying
confectioners' sugar
mix the flour, sugar and baking powder together in a bowl. make a well in the middle and add the milk, eggs, salt and vanilla extract. beat these together and gradually work on the flour. roll out on a floured board to about 1/4 inch or a little thinner if preferred. cut the dough into 2 x 4-inch strips and simply make 3 or 4 slits in the center of each. fry in deep oil until golden brown. sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. these will be firmer than regular doughnuts.
yield: approximately 18 to 20
