Doughtnuts

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 pounds Lard
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Baking soda
½ teaspoon Salt
1 cup Sour cream
2¼ cup Flour
Powdered sugar

Directions

Melt lard in kettle over low heat. Beat egg, baking soda and salt into sour cream in bowl. Beat in 1 cup flour until well mixed.

Continue to work in flour, ¼ cup at a time, until you have a dough that can be rolled. Roll dough in a strip 4x16x ¼". With floured knife cut into 4" strips about ⅝" wide.Heat lard to 375. Twist a strip like a corkscrew (it will stretch as you do this); bring ends together and pinch them. Drop twisted dough into hot fat. In 2 minutes dough should be brown on both sides, crisp and cooked through. If browning takes less time, fat is too hot; if it takes more than 3 minutes, fat is not hot enough. Remove doughnut to brown paper to drain and coat with sugar.
