Applesauce Spice Donuts
Makes about 16
2
1
⁄3 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour,
divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1
⁄8 teaspoon ground allspice
Pinch freshly grated/ground nutmeg
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon, plus 1 teaspoon
vegetable shortening
2
⁄3 cup applesauce
1 large egg
Vegetable oil for frying
Flour for dusting
Powdered or granulated sugar for
dusting
Using a whisk, blend together the flour, baking
powder, salt and spices in a medium bowl;
reserve. Put the sugar and shortening in a large
bowl. With an electric mixer on low speed, beat to
blend and break up the shortening. Add the
applesauce and egg; beat until smooth. Add the
flour mixture in two additions and blend on
medium speed until mixed. Cover dough and chill
for a least 1 hour.
Divide dough into two equal portions. Place one
portion of dough on a generously floured surface
and dust with flour. Roll out to 1cm thickness. Cut
dough with a floured donut cutter and place
donuts on a waxed-paper-lined baking sheet or
tray. Repeat with remaining dough. Re-roll scraps
and repeat.
