Sunny Morning Doughnuts

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine 4-1/2 cups flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
• Combine the eggs, milk, oil, orange juice and zest; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Turn onto a floured surface; roll to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. doughnut cutter.
• In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry doughnuts, a few at a time, until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Dust warm doughnuts with confectioners’ sugar.
• To freeze, wrap doughnuts in foil; transfer to a resealable plastic freezer bag. May be frozen for up to 3 months.
• To use frozen doughnuts, remove foil. Thaw at room temperature. Warm if desired. Dust warm doughnuts with confectioners’ sugar.
