November 14th, 2011 | Author: Lis

Thank you for following my journey of documenting my family’s recipes. This time I chose my grandmother’s doughnuts. I had actually forgotten about them until I saw this recipe and it took me right back to her kitchen where she made them when I would spend the night. I have never made the doughnuts but I plan on it over the holiday season.

Dropped Doughnut

Transcribed from my grandmother’s written recipe.

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg, beat separetly.

1/3 tsp salt

1/3 tsp nutmeg

2 tbsp melted shortening (I used anything that I fry them in)

1 1/2 cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup milk

Mix well. Hold teaspoon of batter close to hot fat when dropping them and they will come up in round balls. dip teaspoon each time in hot fat. Turn them. cool. roll in sugar.

Enjoy!

A great friend of mine started scrapbooking her family recipes as part of her genealogy research and I thought that was a wonderful idea. Maybe one day I can create a family cookbook to pass on.

Since it’s fall and a great time of year to pick apples, I wanted to share this recipe with you.

3 C flour

6 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

8 tbsp crisco

6 tbsp sugar

Sift all together. Add 2/3 C milk to 2 beaten eggs. Add to flour mixture. Spread in 2 pie tins. Cover with sliced apples or any fruit. Put sugar and cinnamon on top and bits of butter. Bake 25-30 minutes. Serve with lemon sauce.

Enjoy!
