  • What if the best donut recipe was actually one from 220 years ago? You have to try these! Fried in hot lard and made from scratch, these donuts are one of the best historic recipes you can enjoy.
    All spices used were kindly donated by our local tea and spice shop, Quientesential Riverfront Teas & Spices. If you ever visit Ste. Genevive Missouri please see our friend's store, which has been open since 1806.
    Check out our 2nd channel ^_^ where we eat and review these historic dishes, for better or for worse.

    At the end of my videos you will find an image of the original recipe (or reciept as they used to be called) as it was written in the cookbook published in 1803. For those of you at home please refer to the recipe below which I have translated into modern directions. Thank you for watching ^_^ !
    Dough Nuts, 1803
    3 & 1/3 cups of flour
    1/4 pounds of butter, softened
    1/2 cup of sugar
    2 tablespoons of dry, active yeast
    1 cup of warm milk (More or less depending on however much will make up the dough)
    Lard, for frying
    Combine your flour, sugar and yeast. Warm up 1 cup of milk until warm but not scalding. To your dry ingredients add your softened butter and milk. Continue to add milk until you have formed a dough similar to bread dough. Set aside in a warm place to rise for one hour. After one hour gently knead the dough then tear off small chunks from your dough and roll into balls the size of walnuts. Be sure that they are not too big or when you go to fry them the centers may not cook all the way through. Once all of your dough has been formed up into your desired shape cover again and let rise for another hour. Once the hour is up fry them in hot lard. Be sure that the lard is not too hot, as we want the donuts to cook well all the way through. These cook fast! Check them constantly and flip them when one side is golden. When the donut is a golden brown it is ready.
    Optional: While they are still hot you may roll them in powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar. These are delicious! Enjoy.

    This is my favorite receipt you have done! My grandma would make donuts similar to this when I was young. She would get biscuits in a canister and make donuts with the holes in it and cook them in oil. Then us kids got to put them in a plastic bag that had sugar in it and shake the bag. It always resulted in the best sugar donuts I have ever had. Great memory!

    Mmm! Looks yummy! There's a story about a frontier woman in Nebraska who was home alone one day when a group of Native American men walked through her door. She didn't know what to do, so she made them donuts, which they gobbled up. When her husband returned, the men tried to negotiate a trade for the wife. Donuts are that awesome!

    If anyone can't understand the quantity
    1 pound =4 cups of flour
    1/4 pound= 1 cup so take 1 cup sugar, 1 cup oil/butter
    2 tbsp yeast and enough warm milk, or water to make a thin sticky dough
    Keep for 1 hour till it rises then make balls and keep for another 1 hour then deep fry in oil
    Serve with powdered sugar

    This is the best channel on UA-cam. I'm a published author and I write historical fiction novels following one family's genealogy from the 1600s-1920s. It's so cool to watch this video and picture my 1700s/early 1800s-era characters doing things like this. It has made my writing so much easier when it comes to the "everyday life" scenes where they might be cooking or doing laundry. And the sources you provide at the end are so helpful because then I can go look them up myself. Historical accuracy is important to me in my work. Knowing that my characters might have been enjoying "Dough Nuts" is so fun!
    If/when I ever do include any scene inspired by this channel, I will 100% be sure to list your channel as a source in the acknowledgments. Thank you for all your uploads! My best to you and your husband

    Fill them with Jam like strawberry, raspberry or cherry after frying and you technically have that what we call "Berliner" or "Pfannkuchen" in German. This also reminds me of "Quarkbällchen" (curdrolls) and "Muzemandel/Mutzemandeln" (fried dough looking like an almond). Both dishes are fried, too and look a bit like these donuts.

    As I watch these videos, of course I think about how much more arduous relatively simple cooking tasks were back then, but I also often think about how virtually impossible it must’ve been for some people living in remote areas to even get their hands on some of the ingredients. The ingredients in this receipt I imagine would’ve been pretty commonplace to have though. I wonder why the spelling was changed to donuts.

I like them with fine sugar and cinnamon, but most Dutch people will dus them with poederde sigaar. I love them so much!
