DONUTS - "GRANDMA WALKERS" A PLAIN OLD DELICIOUS RECIPE.



DONUTS -

My maternal grandma Joan Walker, ( see picture)taught me how to make these when I a little girl!... 1943 ? I would have to take a streetcar ( Western Ave.) West. Across the middle of Chicago,Ill. to Evanston, Ill. Then walk at the end of the line -maybe a mile to Grandmas. Toke maybe 2-3 hrs each way! It was worth it!!...

This came from the Dazey Donut Factory. I happened across this cute machine at a yard sale and searched the net for recipes. I haven't tried any of them yet but I'm putting them here to try later.

Time 10m

Yield 10 donuts, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup flour, sifted
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 cup cooking oil
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar plus 1 tblsp. sugar
almond extract, cinnamon (1/4 to 1/2 tsp. according to taste) or nutmeg (1/4 to 1/2 tsp. according to taste)

Steps:

  • With cover closed and latch in locked position, allow unit to preheat 10 minutes. Combine and sift together dry ingredients. Beat egg and milk together and then add the oil. Mix thoroughly into dry ingredients with an electric mixer. Unlock latch, raise cover, and fill the donut cavities with batter. You will find it more convenient to use a pitcher when filling. Do not overfill the cavities with batter. Close cover and secure latch. Put 1/2 teaspoons cooking oil in each circular cavity provided in top cover. Allow baking time specified in the recipe you are using. If you desire crisper donuts, add 2 or 3 minutes of baking time or bake until oil no longer bubbles from the holes in lid. Raise cover, remove donuts with spoon, spatula, knife or spoon handle and place on a rack to cool. Additional donuts will not require preheat time, however it is important that you keep cover closed except when filling with batter. Bake 5 minutes.
