Favorite Donuts
Beat well: 4 egg yolks or 2 whole eggs (Large)
Beat in 1 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons soft shortening. NOTE: The only shortening I use is Crisco
Stir in ¾ cups buttermilk or sour milk
Sift together:
3&1/2 cups sifted Gold Medal flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Chill dough 2 hours. Heat 3-4 inches oil in fryer or heavy pan to 390 degrees.
Roll out dough gently to 1/3 inch thick. Cut with floured donut cutter on cutting board. Lift donuts with a wide spatula in hot oil. Fry about 3 minutes to completely brown on both sides. Only put in enough so they are not too crowded and can be turned easily.
NOTE: I usually fry them 1&1/2 minutes on one side, flip them over, and then continue frying until completely browned.
Lift each donut with the long fork being careful not to prick donuts. Drain over fryer and then place on absorbent paper towels. Keep in a warm place.
Sprinkle powdered sugar over them or glazed. I also put them in sugar-cinnamon mixture to coat completely. You can decorate them any way you want.
Another word to perfection:
Keep an eye on the temperature of your fryer. After frying, it can get too hot or too cool after taking the donuts out before adding another batch. I also only do a ½ batch at a time and keep the other chilled.
If you have any questions, just ask me and I will be glad to help. Enjoy!!!
I wish you every blessing for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday may it a time when you are close to the Lord who died for us and rose for us on Easter Day.
Thank you for the Maundy Thursday and Good Friday blessings and I wish you a very special Easter.
Have a wonderful Easter.

Good night and God bless. Hugs.
The 2nd quote is misleading. Sofia is beautiful even with her eyes closed.
a pretty puzzle
We take melatonin when we have trouble sleeping. It's an all natural product and doesn't leave you with 'sleep hangover'. (Actually, I only take a half of one which works for me.)
