SWEET POTATO DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• 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 doughnut cutter.
• No doughnut cutter? Use a soup can as a cutter then poke a hole in the middle of the dough round.
• Using your fingers, stretch the dough until an inch opening is formed and the doughnut is about 3 " wide.
• Re-roll dough as needed.
• In a Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium heat to 360 degrees F.
• Cook doughnuts, in batches of 4-5, in hot oil, 2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned.
• Drain on paper towels.
