Breads
Applesauce Spoon Doughnuts
3 tbsp. butter
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 cup applesauce
1 tsp. vanilla
4-1/2 cups flour
3-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 cup milk
Oil for frying
additional sugar in bowl.
Heat oil in a large saucepan or in a deep fat fryer to 375. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and blend well. Beat in applesauce and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; add to the moist mixture alternately with milk. The batter will be very thick.
Drop teaspoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Turn and fry until golden, about 1 minute on each side. Drain on paper towels; roll in sugar while warm. Note: Don't make the drops too much bigger than a tablespoon or they will not cook all the way through.
