Title: Doughboys
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
360ºF/182ºC. 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.

sheep and where not a one was injured...The dead sheep all had to be
moved to the opposite side of the canyon so as to be off the 'water
shed.' Men counted them as they were moved, 654 sheep had been killed."

07 October 1918 - ALVIN C. YORK GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND ON THE WESTERN
FRONT: Born poor in rural Tennessee, and a conscientious objector at the outbreak of WWI, Corporal Alvin York now fights against the Germans in
the Argonne Forest, killing 25 and capturing 132 almost all on his own.
This heroism will promote him to Sergeant York and merit him the Medal
of Honor.

York (December 13, 1887 - September 2, 1964), also known by his rank as Sergeant York, was an American soldier who was one of the most decorated
United States Army soldiers of World War I. He received the Medal of
Honor for leading an attack on a German machine gun nest, gathering 35
machine guns, killing at least 25 enemy soldiers and capturing 132
prisoners. York's Medal of Honor action occurred during the United
States-led portion of the Meuse - Argonne offensive in France, which was intended to breach the Hindenburg line and force the Germans to
surrender. He earned decorations from several allied countries during
WWI, including France, Italy and Montenegro.
