HOMEMADE DOUGHNUTS

Very easy to make and has a lot of variations

3 cups cake flour
1 cup warm milk
1 extra large egg
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons yeast
4 tablespoons softened butter
6 teaspoons sugar
oil for deep frying

Mix all ingredients together and knead to form a soft dough. Let the dough rise for 1 hour.
Form into shapes. Whatever you prefer.
Put a pot on the stove and heat the oil, not to hot, if you drop a piece of dough into the oil it must rise to the top immediately.
Fry the formed doughnuts till ready and brown, place on a rack to drain the extra oil.
Use toppings of your choice or fill with cream when cooled down.

Note:
I used melted chocolate on some. Fresh cream on others and filled some of them with jam. You could also use a glazed or cinamon sugar if preferred.
