Susan, cook dougbnuts, and first let me
whisper to you. don't tell your John. but if
you want good doughnuts that are not
greasy, Just have . deep saucepan on the
stove alongside OF your kette Of fat for
doughnuts, and get it boiling furiously spd
keep il At that point, and ~ fast IS dough-
nuts are nicely Drowned and done, take your
fork and lift . doughnut and plunge il
quickly into boiling water and out. and place
in long tin baking pan on the side. Don't lay
them hat. but stand on edge. we will say,
and when they are all treated in this way,
set your kettle OF boiling water away TO cool
and you viii be surprised to see ho~ much
grease you have taken OF from your dough-
nuts. think they keep moist . deal longer
than Il not dipped in the boiling water.
