11 Novemebr 1918 - THE 'WAR TO END ALL WARS' HAS ITSELF FINALLY ENDED:
Germany and the Allies sign an armistice to end the war at the 11th 
hour on the 11th day of the 11th month. Over 16 million people have 
died in four years of fighting. The First World War is described as 
"the war to end all wars" * due to the bloody devastation. This day 
will hereafter be known as Armistice Day.

* That didn't work out. Too bad.

      Title: Doughboys
 Categories: Breads, Snacks, 
      Yield: 8 servings

  2 1/4 ts Dry yeast
    3/4 c  Warm water
      4 c  A-P flour
      1 c  Warm water
    1/2 c  Sugar
      2 ts Salt
      1 tb Lard or Crisco
      2 c  Peanut oil

MMMMM-------------------------COATINGS-------------------------------
    1/2 c  Granulated sugar
    3/4 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/2 c  Powdered sugar
           Brown paper bag

  Dissolve yeast in 3/4 cup warm water.

  Add the remaining cup of water, 3 cups of the flour,
  sugar, salt, and shortening.

  Mix together with a fork and then gradually add the
  remaining 1 cup of flour.

  On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about
  5 minutes. 

  Transfer dough to a well-greased bowl. Roll the dough to
  coat with oil, cover with a clean tea towel and let rise
  for about 2 hours. 

  Divide dough until you have 8 4-ounce balls of dough.
  They should be slightly smaller than a tennis ball. 

  In a large pot or 12" heavy-bottomed skillet, pour in
  the peanut oil. Using a candy thermometer, heat oil to
  360ºF/182ºC. An electric fryer can also be used.

  Flatten one ball of dough so that it is about 1/4"
  thick. Gently place into the oil and cook for about two
  minutes on each side or until lightly golden. Do not
  overcook.

  Remove from oil with tongs and place onto a plate lined
  with a paper towel.

  Put 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  into a brown paper bag. Remove doughboy from oil and
  place into a brown paper. Shake to remove excess oil and
  coat in cinnamon sugar mixture. 

  They can also be dusted with confectioners’ sugar before
  serving. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
