Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 Cups Granulated Sugar
2 Eggs
4 Tablespoons Butter
3 Ounces Unsweetened Chocolate
1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla
1 Cup Buttermilk
3 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
3 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
----------ICING-----------
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 Egg White
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla

All the ingredients should be at room temperature (70oF.) Beat the sugar and
eggs together until creamy and lemon colored. Melt the butter and chocolate
together in a small saucepan over low heat. Beat into the sugar and egg
mixture. Combine the vanilla and the buttermilk. Stir into the sugar mixture.
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Stir
into the liquid mixture. Chill the dough slightly to make it easier to
handle. Roll out half the dough on a lightly floured board. Roll to a /"
thickness. Cut into doughnuts. Allow the cut doughnuts to dry for 10 minutes.
Heat 2" of oil to 370o in a large skillet. The dough should be at room
temperature before frying. Dip a metal pancake turner into the hot oil each
time before using it to move or turn a doughnut. Transfer the doughnuts to
the skillet, one every 15 seconds. Fry each doughnut about 90 seconds per
side. Remove the doughnuts and drain on paper towelling.
