My Basic Doughnut recipe

Lemon Doughnuts
1¼ cups cake flour
½ cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 egg
¾ cup buttermilk
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons for pure lemon extract
1 teaspoon of brewers yeast

Directions:

Stir dry ingredients together in mixing bowl. Add egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil and vanilla. Using a mixer on medium speed, blend until smooth.
Fill each cooking reservoir with about 1 tablespoons of batter.
Bake about 4 to 5 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into donut comes out clean.
Glaze or coat with powdered sugar, as desired.

Makes approximately 28 donuts

Tip: If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, pour 2¼ teaspoons lemon juice or vinegar into a glass measuring cup. Add milk to equal ¾ cup. Allow to stand 5 to 10 minutes, then use in place of buttermilk in this recipe.

I use a doughnut maker and doughnut pans. I have found the cake flour is best when using the doughnut maker. This recipe is for Lemon Doughnuts. I will change out the lemon extract and substitute a different flavor. So far though, these doughnuts are ones that most people like. I make a chocolate glaze for the topping and it really ties the flavors together. I do not have pictures currently. Will try and make some later and then post the pics  

Who I am..

I am a happy little heathen who loves to bake.
I make evilly good doughnuts and other delicious bake goods and food .  I am a parent of a child with functional  autism who is some what picky on what they will eat and another who is not . Since both my kids love doughnuts, I started to make doughnuts from scratch. I add nutrients to the doughnuts so my kids get added healthy foods in their diets.

I have expanded my ideas to sauces, cookies and ice cream. I get my ideas for food from every where. If it taste good, I will try and make it myself. Cooking is not chore for me, its my therapy from the daily stress of life.
