Need help changing a recipe- Surprise doughnut holes

[Guest guest]

Good luck Amy. I have not had lucl recreatng Cruellers without eggs, especially

that many. But one thing might be to use a portion of sparkling water to add

the lift and bubbles.

Hi everyone. My friend gave me a recipe for Surprise doughnut holes. NOt sure

what book it was out of, she did not tell me. I held on to it for about a year,

I have not made it because it takes 4 eggs and I am unsure how to change that

many eggs in a recipe. But my husband was complaining about not haveing

doughnuts! Again! so I broke down and made them today. OH MY GOODNESS then

were SO GOOD. They tasted just like French Crawlers that used to be our

favorite. So now I need to take the eggs out and keep the good texture and

flavor.

 

 

Surprise doughnut holes

 

1 cup water

1/2 cup (1stick) margarine

1 cup potato starch flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

4 eggs

oil for deep frying

cinnamon sugar

 

In a 2-quart saucepan, heat water and margarine until mixture boils. Remove pan

from heat and stir in, the combined flour, sugar, and salt. Continue stiring

until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Then

with an electric mixer, beat iin the eggs, one at a time , beating well after

each addition.

 

Mean while, heat the oil for deep-frying. Use either an electric skillet set at

375 or an automatic deep-fry kettle (such as a fry-daddy). Use at least 1 inch

of oil in the skillet or add oil up to the marked line on an automatic fry

kettle.

 

Drop the batter into the heated oil by small rounded teaspoonfuls, a few at a

time. Fry until they are golden brown, turning them to brown evenly. They will

puff up to about 1 1/2 inches as they cook (about 5 mintues altogether). Remove

and drain on paper towels.

 

While still warm, shake in a plastic bag with cinnamon sugar ( 2 tbls. sugar to

1/2 tsp. cinnamon) makes 3 dozen holes. ( I made 55 holes)
