 Categories: Breads, Snacks, 
      Yield: 8 servings

  2 1/4 ts Dry yeast
    3/4 c  Warm water
      4 c  A-P flour
      1 c  Warm water
    1/2 c  Sugar
      2 ts Salt
      1 tb Lard or Crisco
      2 c  Peanut oil

MMMMM-------------------------COATINGS-------------------------------
    1/2 c  Granulated sugar
    3/4 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/2 c  Powdered sugar
           Brown paper bag

  Dissolve yeast in 3/4 cup warm water.

  Add the remaining cup of water, 3 cups of the flour,
  sugar, salt, and shortening.

  Mix together with a fork and then gradually add the
  remaining 1 cup of flour.

  On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about
  5 minutes. 

  Transfer dough to a well-greased bowl. Roll the dough to
  coat with oil, cover with a clean tea towel and let rise
  for about 2 hours. 

  Divide dough until you have 8 4-ounce balls of dough.
  They should be slightly smaller than a tennis ball. 

  In a large pot or 12" heavy-bottomed skillet, pour in
  the peanut oil. Using a candy thermometer, heat oil to
  360 F/182 C. An electric fryer can also be used.

  Flatten one ball of dough so that it is about 1/4"
  thick. Gently place into the oil and cook for about two
  minutes on each side or until lightly golden. Do not
  overcook.

  Remove from oil with tongs and place onto a plate lined
  with a paper towel.

  Put 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  into a brown paper bag. Remove doughboy from oil and
  place into a brown paper. Shake to remove excess oil and
  coat in cinnamon sugar mixture. 

  They can also be dusted with confectioners' sugar before
  serving. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
