Zubereitung von Pennsylvania Dutch Square Doughnuts
- In a 2-cup measuring cup, dissolve 1 teaspoon of sugar in 1/2 cup of lukewarm water.
- Sprinkle 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) of active dry yeast over the sugar water, stir gently, and let stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 cup of milk until scalded (small bubbles around edges). Pour into a large mixing bowl and let cool to lukewarm.
- Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable shortening or oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup raisins to the warm milk. Stir until combined and the mixture is lukewarm.
- Beat in 1 large egg.
- Stir in the risen yeast mixture along with 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour. Beat with an electric mixer for 5 minutes.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface (using the remaining flour) and knead for 10 minutes (about 100 times).
- Roll the dough to 1/3-inch thickness and cut into 3-inch squares.
- Gather up scraps, re-roll, and cut out additional squares.
- Place the squares on a lightly floured baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between each. Let rise, uncovered, until almost doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Carefully slide 2-3 doughnuts at a time into a pot of hot oil (3 inches deep, heated to 375°F).
- Fry for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Remove the doughnuts and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Let cool slightly on a wire rack. While still warm, dip all sides into the honey glaze.
- **Honey Glaze:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons honey, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 7 tablespoons boiling water until smooth and pourable.
- Dip the warm doughnuts into the glaze, let excess drip off, and place them back on the wire rack to cool and set.
- Enjoy your homemade Pennsylvania Dutch Square Doughnuts!
