Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 tb Shortening
3 Eggs
1/2 c Molasses
1/2 c Water
1/2 ts Salt
2 ts Baking Powder
4 tb Buttermilk -- dried
1 t Ginger
2 ts Cinnamon
3 3/4 c Flour
1 1/2 ts Yeast
1/2 c Powdered Sugar -- or
1/2 c Granulated Sugar

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature.
Place the first 11 ingredients in the machine. Program
for knead and first rise and press start. The dough
will be just a little sticky; a tiny amount will stick
to your finger. It does hold some shape while
kneading. Flour your work surface and rolling pin.
When the cycle is complete, turn the dough out onto
the floured surface and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Roll the dough to 1/3" thick. Use enough flour to keep
the dough from sticking. Cut doughnuts with cutter.

Place the doughnuts on a greased baking sheet and
cover with a clean towel. Let rise for 1 hour, or
until doubled in bulk. Heat 1 1/2 to 2" of oil in
saucepan or deep fryer. Use a thermometer to help keep
the temperature constant. Fry 2 to 3 doughnuts at a
time. Fry them for 2 to 3 minutes, turning frequently
and spooning the hot oil over them. Remove with
slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Check the
first few for doneness. Shake the warm doughnuts, 3 or
4 at a time, in a sturdy paper bag with sugar in it.
