The Doughnut Recipe

While my friend and I were making bread yesterday the doughnuts popped into my mind and I threw out the option of making doughnuts and thankfully my friend was game, so we made doughnuts!

Overnight Doughnuts

1 quart  milk

3/4 cup butter

1/2 cup honey

Scald milk, add butter and honey and stir until melted. Cool to 115-130 degrees. 

In a mixer bowl mix:

1 TBSP instant yeast

2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. nutmeg or cardamon, I use nutmeg

9 cups spelt or whole wheat flour

and then add the milk mixture and mix until "wet batter" like. At this point cover and place in the fridge overnight or knead a few more minutes for immediate use. Roll out 1/2 to 3/4 think, cut and allow to rise until doubled. Fry in oil 350-375 degrees about 3-4 minutes, turning once. Roll in sugar and enjoy.

Your toppings are up to you. Powdered sugar is easy and one of our favorites. We sometimes do cinnamon sugar and once I got really out there and made a chocolate dipping glaze, I think it was someone's birthday or something like that. This recipe is from a class I took that was called, "I Can't Believe it's not White Flour!!" A very well named class.

Hey Angela, good think I didn't read the rising part of this recipe yesterday, those doughnuts would have been huge!
