PORTUGUESE DOUGHNUTS

This recipe for Portuguese Doughnuts comes from a cookbook that my Portuguese relatives put together and shared with our family.  Portuguese Doughnuts, also known as Sonhos (dreams), are light and airy doughnuts that are coated in white sugar.



INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated white sugar
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
  • pinch of salt
  • canola oil, for frying
  • granulated white sugar, for rolling

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter and sugar.  Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and stir in the flour.  Stir until the mixture forms a ball.  Move the batter to a medium bowl and let cool.
  2. Use an electric mixer to beat in the eggs, one at a time.  Add lemon extract and a pinch of salt.
