FRENCH DOUGHNUTS 
1 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. sugar
1 c. water
1/2 c. butter
4 eggs
Deep fat for frying heat to 370 degrees

Combine the sifted flour with salt and sugar. Sift together into a bowl and place close to the range. Put water and butter in saucepan set over heat and stir until butter melts. Bring to a full boil and ad all the flour mixture.

As soon as flour is added, stir the mixture over low heat. Break egg into the ball of dough and beat it well. Repeat beating (one at a time). Repeat beating all the eggs in and beat thoroughly. Then let dough chill about an hour.

Put the dough in a cookie press using largest serrated tip and force it out to make a circle on lightly oiled or buttered wide spatula. Slip the spatula into the preheated oil. The dough will slide off. Repeat frying only a few at a time. Fry to golden brown on each side, then strain out and drain on absorbent paper.
