Sunday Morning Tea Donuts~Just like Mom's

No matter where you go the comforts of home can go with you.  This recipe for Sunday Morning Tea Donuts is one of those comforts.

Our home away from home is truly a  beautiful part of the US to spend the winter months.  The ocean close by, warm weather, and beautiful flowers, but still it is not quite home.  I did bring my recipe box with lots of comfort food recipes so there are still those thoughts of home that have come with me.  

It has been difficult to find a good donut shop where we are.  I pulled out the recipe box and found my mother's tea donut recipe.  It is a yeast dough recipe and then glazed with a powdered sugar glaze.  Donuts are certainly NOT a health food, but definitely a comfort food!

They certainly taste pretty yummy with a hot cup of tea.  To make it a bit healthier, we ate some fresh strawberries with them!  LOL

Mom’s Sunday Morning Tea Donuts From Quaker Hill Farm Preparation time: 30 minutes +dough raise Cook time:  5-6 minutes Serves 12 Ingredients: 1 cup Milk ¼ Cup Sugar ¾ Teaspoon Salt ½ Teaspoon Nutmeg 1 PACKAGE ACTIVE DRY YEAST 2 Tablespoons lukewarm water 2 Tablespoons salad oil 1 Egg 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour Icing: 1 Cup of confectioners Sugar 3-5 tablespoons of Milk or enough to make a thin glaze 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Directions: Scald Milk.  Add granulated sugar, salt, and Nutmeg. Cool to lukewarm. Sprinkle yeast into warm water (lukewarm) Stir yeast until dissolved. To yeast add oil, egg, and milk mixture Add Flour gradually beating well. Cover with waxed paper, then a clean towel, Let rise in a warm place until double in size. Turn dough (it will be soft) onto a well-floured surface and knead gently.  Roll the dough into a rectangle. Use a donut cutter, or in my case, I used a glass dipped in flour and then a bottle cap in the center to cut the hole.   After you have cut all of your donuts out. Let rise another 45 minutes. Fry a few at a time in deep oil of your choice.  I used canola oil.  The oil temp should be 375 degrees. Fry until they are golden brown Make a glaze for the icing and dip the donuts into the glaze. Drain and ENJOY with a Hot Tea!
