COOKING INSTRUCTION:

1. To the starter add the egg, vanilla, milk and oil. Mix well.
2. Sift together the flour, baking soda and sugar. Add to starter mixture and blend well.
3. Turn out dough on a floured surface and knead until slightly firm and easy to handle. Add flour, if necessary.
4. Roll out dough to 1/2" thickness. Cut out donut holes with a cutter and place on a lightly greased and floured sheet.
5. Allow to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
6. Heat about 3" to 4" of oil in your Dutch oven to about 400 degrees. Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature.
7. Gently lift donut holes and place in oil. Cook until golden brown.

CHARCOAL HINTS: You should use your camp stove to deep fry.  It would take
to many briquettes to heat and maintain the temperature that is required.

SERVING HINTS: Coat with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar.  You might want
to chop some apple or add raisins to the batter before cooking.
