Cheregie Little Bow Tie Doughnuts We Call Them Chickies Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together first 7 ingredients.
• Beat the remaining ingredients well and add to the mix.
• When the dough is formed, roll it out thin, then cut into squares or triangles (your choice).
• Make a slit through the center from corner to corner and pull one end through (making what looks like a tiny knot).
• Deep fry in hot shortening or oil until lightly browned.
• When they are done and drained on paper towels, sprinkle with powdered (or confectioners) sugar.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks, egg, rum, vanilla and salt until blended. Gradually add confectioners' sugar; beat until smooth. Stir in flour until a stiff dough forms. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead seven times., Divide dough into three portions. Roll one portion into a 1/4-in.-thick rectangle, about 12 in. x 5-1/2 in. Cut in half lengthwise, then cut dough widthwise into 1-1/2-in.-wide strips. Cut a 3/4-in. lengthwise slit down the center of each strip; pull one of the ends through the slit, forming a bow. Repeat., In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry cookies, a few at a time, for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Doughnuts:.
• Heat the milk until it is warm but not hot, about 100 degrees F In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine milk with the yeast. Stir lightly, and let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Beat the eggs, butter, sugar and salt into the yeast mixture. Add half of the flour (2 cups plus 2 tablespoons), and mix until combined. Mix in the rest of the flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Add remaining flour; 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons. If the dough is too wet, add more flour 2 tablespoons at a time. The dough will probably become too thick to beat; when it is, transfer it to a floured surface, and gently knead it until smooth. Grease a large bowl with a little oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl, and cover. Let rise at room temperature, in a warm place, until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
• Lightly flour two rimless baking sheets. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface, and using a well floured rolling pin, roll dough into a 16'' x 12'' rectangle; it should be about 1/4-inch thick. Working quickly, and using a floured pizza wheel or pastry cutter, measure dough, then slice dough in half lengthwise. Measure dough, then slice dough into 2-inch sections crosswise. You will now have 12 long strips. Using a thin spatula to assist you, transfer cut dough to baking sheets, leaving about 4'' of space between each one. Using your floured pastry cutter, slice a slit lengthwise through each piece of dough leaving 1/2'' of uncut dough on both ends. Working with one piece of dough at a time, gently lift one end carefully separating the center. Twist the dough twice and place the end back down. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Let twists rise in a warm place until they've puffed, about 35 minutes. About 15 minutes before they are done rising, Attach a deep-frying thermometer to the side of a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven; heat 2-inches of oil over medium-high, to 375 degrees F.
• Prepare two cooling racks, topping them with paper towels and placing them over baking sheets. Using a metal spatula carefully add the doughnuts to the oil, a few at a time. When the bottoms are deep golden, about 1 to 2 minutes, use tongs to flip; cooking until they're golden on both sides.Transfer the doughnuts to the prepared racks, repeating with the rest of the dough, ensuring the oil remains at 375F while frying.
• Glaze:.
• In a small saucepan over low warm milk to a simmer. Pour warm milk into a medium heatproof bowl. Whisk in confectioners sugar, vanilla and salt until smooth and glossy. Place bowl over a pot of simmering water until thin and smooth, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Using your fingers, or tongs fully submerge each doughnut in the glaze. Place each glazed doughnut on a cooling rack placed over a baking sheet. Allow glaze to dry for at least 1 hour. Serve within a day.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the biscuit mix, 2 tablespoons sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon. Combine egg and milk; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. , Turn onto a heavily floured surface; knead 5-6 times. Roll out to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. doughnut cutter; set centers aside for buttons. , For bows, twist each circle to form a figure eight; place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Place buttons on another greased baking sheet. Bake for 6-7 minutes. , Brush tops of buttons and bows with butter; sprinkle with remaining sugar. Remove from pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Freeze option: Freeze cooled biscuits in resealable plastic freezer bags, putting the bows in one bag and buttons in another. To use, place bows on one baking sheet and buttons on another. Heat in a preheated 350° oven 6-8 minutes for bows and 2-4 minutes for buttons or until heated through.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, 2 tablespoons sugar, the nutmeg, cinnamon, milk and egg until soft dough forms.
• Place dough on surface sprinkled with Bisquick mix. Roll dough into a ball; knead about 5 times. Press or roll dough until 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough with doughnut cutter dipped in Bisquick mix.
• To make bow shapes, hold opposite sides of each ring of dough, then twist to make a figure 8. On ungreased cookie sheet, place bows and buttons (the dough from the center of each ring).
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Immediately dip each bow and button into melted butter, then in 1/2 cup sugar. Serve warm.
