Donuts— Lo-Pro Recipe

Combine all ingredients with a mixer. Let rise 45 minutes. Sprinkle wheat starch on the counter top or on a cutting board. Pat dough out to a thickness of ½ inch on the floured surface. Cut out 20 donuts with a donut cutter. Cut donut holes in 10 of these. Leave the other 10 donuts without holes. Let rise 30 to 45 minutes. Then deep fry the donuts in oil heated to 350° until slightly brown. Drain. Makes 10 donuts of each kind. Glaze the donuts with holes. Fill the donuts without holes.

GLAZE: Combine 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons water, mixing well. Dip donuts in glaze.

Combine ingredients and beat until fluffy. Cut a slit in the donut and fill with 2 tablespoons filling. Roll in donut sugar.

Note: It works well to fry donuts in an electric skillet. Use enough oil so the donuts don’t touch the bottom. (Donut sugar is available at most in-store bakeries.)

*Wal-Mart Equate brand metamucil works well.
