Day, which is the Tuesday before the start of Lent. They are also commonly
referred to as Fasnachts.
What are Fastnachts? They are basically a high calorie potato dough
doughnut, although you can find varying recipes for them around the area.
A genuine Fastnacht will never have a hole in the center like a
traditional doughnut.
This recipe was given to me by a German woman living in Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania.
Ingredients:
3 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed potatoes, cooled to room temperature
6 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1 stick of better, softened
1 cup cold milk
4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
vegetable oil for deep frying
Directions:
In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, salt and butter until
creamy and well mixed. Stir in the mashed potatoes and milk, until all
ingredients are combined. In a small bowl, combine the baking powder with
the flour. Stir flour mixture into the egg mixture with a wooden spoon
until all ingredients are combined. The dough will be stiff so that you
can roll it out. If dough is a little sticky, add flour until it becomes
stiff enough to roll out.
Place vegetable oil into your deep fryer and heat it to 350 degrees. Roll
dough out to a 1/2" thick on a floured dough board. Use a biscuit or
doughnut cutter to cut out doughnuts. Place 2-3 doughnuts into the deep
fryer at a time and fry for 2-3 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
Cool slightly before eating.
Note: If desired, you can shake some cinnamon sugar on hot doughnuts
before serving.
