ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup very hot tap water
1 egg, at room temperature
oil

directions

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix 1 1/4 cup flour with sugar, salt, and undissolved yeast. Add softened butter. Gradually add very hot tap water to dry ingredients and beat with mixer on medium for 2 minutes.

Add egg and 1/2 cup flour, or enough flour to make a thick batter. Beat on high for 2 minutes, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Stir in enough flour to make a soft dough. Cover, let rise in warm place free from draft, until doubled (about 1 hour).

Turn dough onto lightly floured board, knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Roll out to make an 8 x 16-inch rectangle. Cut into 2-inch squares. Cut a slit about 3/4-inch deep (almost through the dough) in the top of each square.

Place onto ungreased baking sheet. Cover, let rise in warm place free from draft, until doubled (about 45 minutes).

Fry in deep hot oil (about 375 degrees F) until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. If desired, dip warm doughnuts in sugar with a little cinnamon added.
