For those people who are onetime plenty to know what a Spudnut is...this recipe volition live a treat. For those of yous also immature to recall Spudnuts...let's merely nation that they were the best donut inwards the universe. I heard that at that spot are silent a few Spudnut shops around, but it appears that they are few together with far between.
This recipe (from the Idaho Potato Commission) makes a LOT of Spudnut-style donuts (about four dozen) hence yous powerfulness desire to one-half the recipe if yous determine to brand them. If yous are non experienced alongside yeast doughs, I don't recommend trying this recipe, however, if yous cause got had fifty-fifty moderate success alongside yeast doughs, I promise yous compass the recipe a endeavor (it is non a difficult recipe at all).
The donuts are rattling moist, sugariness together with cause got merely a HINT of lemon. My married adult man is a donut (and Spudnut) connoisseur from agency back, together with he gave these donuts ii thumbs up!!
1/2 loving cup warm water
1 loving cup sugar
3/4 loving cup shortening (do non exercise butter)
1 & 1/2 cups mutual frigidness instant mashed potatoes

Cream the carbohydrate together with shortening together with compaction inwards the mutual frigidness potatoes, eggs, cooled milk, yeast water, tabular array salt together with lemon extract. Gradually add together the flour to brand a soft dough, knead well. The dough volition live quite sticky, but holds together well. It should live a softer dough than breadstuff dough.
Cover dough alongside plastic together with allow it enhance inwards a warm house until doubled inwards size (this takes a huge bowl together with most an hour). After an hour, clit dough out of bowl together with onto the counter. Sprinkle alongside flour together with knead it a trivial to teach most of the air out of it. If dough seems actually sticky, merely flour your board. Roll the dough out to a one-half inch thickness. Cut alongside well-floured cutter.

NOTE: I used my smallest electrical frying pan alongside 3" of vegetable crude to nipper these donuts. The electrical nipper pan allows yous to easily accommodate the crude to 375 degrees together with since yous should solely nipper ii or 3 donuts at a time, the smaller electrical nipper pan makes sense.
