Baking Powder Doughnuts from Zimbabwe
A teatime treat or something to go with the morning coffee – doughnuts hit the spot.
Working in Harare I would always arrive at work very early – often long before anyone else. I made a point of stopping at the local bakery – usually 'Bakers Inn' and picking up a doughnut to have with my coffee which I made before doing anything else!
Somehow doughnuts have that wonderful comforting effect on me. Coffee and doughnut downed i was ready to start the day!
This is an easy recipe and goes a long way. Don't re-roll the centres of the doughnuts but fry them – decorate or roll in sugar and serve separately.
Yield: 12 servings
Beat eggs and sugar. Sift flour, salt, spice and baking powder.
Add vanilla, melted butter or margarine, milk and dry ingredients to egg and sugar mixture.
Make a soft dough and roll to ⅓ inch thick.
Cut as for doughnuts using a cutter or a glass – with a smaller cutter for the centres and drop into hot oil (375 degrees). Fry until golden brown.
Serve plain or roll in confectioners sugar or ice with vanilla or chocolate icing.
