Sweet Potato Doughnuts with Maple Icing (Paula Dean Recipe)
- Number of Servings: 12
Ingredients
Ingredients - Doughnuts * 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour * 1 cup sugar * 2 teaspoons baking powder * 1/2 teaspoon baking soda * 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon * 1/2 teaspoon salt * 2 large eggs, lightly beaten * 1 cup sour cream * 1 cup cooked mashed sweet potato (1 medium potato) * Vegetable oil, for fryingIngredients: Maple Icing * 2 2/3 cups confectioners' sugar * 3 to 4 tablespoons skim milk * 1/4 teaspoon maple extract
Makes 10-12 individual doughnuts (including icing for them). I calculated for 12 doughnuts.
Directions: Doughnuts
(* 1 cup finely chopped pecans optional, I didn't include in calculations for recipe)
In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a large bowl, combine eggs, sour cream, and sweet potato. Gradually add flour mixture, stirring to combine. Turn dough out onto a heavily floured surface. Knead in flour with hands as needed (dough will be sticky). Roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out dough with a 2 1/4-inch round cutter. Cut out center of doughnuts with a 3/4-inch round cutter. Re-roll dough as needed.
In a Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium heat to 360 degrees F. Cook doughnuts, in batches, in hot oil, 2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels. Ice top of doughnuts with Maple Icing, and sprinkle with chopped pecans (if desired).
Maple Icing:
In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and 3 tablespoons milk; stir well. Add additional milk to reach desired consistency. Stir in maple extract.
Yield: 1 cup icing
