Time 30m

Yield 12 doughnuts, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 slices bacon, cubbed
4 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup Simply Potatoes Traditional Mashed Potatoes (prepared without butter or milk, just use water)
3 tablespoons shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
1 cup milk
4 ounces goat cheese

Steps:

  • brown off bacon.
  • prepare mashed potatoes. Instead of adding in milk or butter add 4 oz of goat cheese.
  • Combine all ingredients (a food processor may be used).
  • Roll out on a lightly floured surface. Adjust dough consistency, if needed, adding flour if dough is too sticky or a little milk if too crumbly, until a soft, rollable dough is obtained. Add as little flour as is possible to avoid having heavy, tough, doughnuts.
  • Cut out doughnut shapes using a doughnut cutter, two biscuit cutters or two glasses (a shot glass is a good size for cutting out the doughnut holes). Dip the cutters in flour before each cut.
  • Use a spatula sprayed with non-stick spray to transfer the doughnuts to hot oil (about 370°F). Turn once until browned on both sides and cooked through. If outside of doughnut browns before inside is cooked, reduce temperature.
  • Remove from oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Shake in a brown paper bag filled with granulated sugar (cinnamon may be optionally added) or dust with confectioners sugar while still warm.
  • For a festive look, drizzle with confectioners icing and sprinkle with colored jimmies.
  • Serve warm.
