Gradually beat in the rest of the flour. Turn out onto floured board & knead by hand for 10 minutes. The dough should be very smooth, satiny & light. Place the dough in a clean buttered bowl, brush top with a little butter & cover with warm damp cloth. Place in warm place & let stand about 1 hour until it has doubled in size. Punch down dough & roll it onto a floured board to ½" thickness. With knife or pastry cutter. Cut dough into 2" squares or 2*3" rectangles. Cover & let sit until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Heat clean vegetable oil in deep fryer or large skillet to 375. Using wide spatula slide doughnuts into oil & fry until golden, turning once. Lift out & drain doughnuts on paper towels. When they are cool enough to handle, take each one in turn, & using large kitchen syringe inject each doughnut with about 1 oz. custard. Dip doughnuts into sugar glaze & let cool on wire rack. These must be eaten fresh. Doughnuts: Submitted By THESERVS@... (THOMAS E. HAUG) On MON, 13 NOV 1995 155854 -0500
