Doughnuts Or Fried Cakes

As much care must be taken in the mixing as in the cooking. In Northern Arizona do not use too much shortening in the dough, and mix very soft, rolling without kneading. Try the boiling fat, in which they are to be cooked, with a small piece of dough. If a piece of raw potato is put into the boiling fat it will prevent browning too much and will help clarify it. Two tablespoonfuls vinegar added to the lard will prevent the cakes absorbing too much grease. Some cooks add one-half teaspoonful ground ginger in the dough, saying that, too, will prevent the dough absorbing too much fat.
