 Categories: Breads, Snacks
      Yield: 8 Servings

  2 1/4 ts Dry yeast
    3/4 c  Water; warm
      4 c  A-P flour
      1 c  Water; warm
    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 eight 4 oz 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 360°F/182°C. 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 2 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 ts 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.
