  I would like to make cider donuts, but NOT the baked ones... the nice 
  small fried ones you get at the orchards around here.  I have had no 
  luck so far getting a recipe....

Hi Laura,

You and a lot of other people. I've had lots of requests for this, but have never been able to find any but the baked ones until now. See below.

Phaed

  Apple Cider Donuts

  List of Ingredients

  1/2 c. sugar
  2 tbsp. shortening
  2 beaten eggs 
  2 c. sifted flour
  2 tsp. baking powder
  1/4 tsp. salt
  1/2 c. apple cider
  for rolling doughnuts in:
  granulated white sugar or powdered confectioners 
  cinnamon

  Recipe


  Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together and set aside.
  Mix the sugar and shortening together. 
  Then add the beaten eggs and mix well. 
  Add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture.
  Stir in the apple cider until mixed. 
  Heat oil to 315 degrees
  Use 2 spoons dipped in oil, (helps dough to slide off spoon easily), and 
  drop the dough by teaspoonfuls into the hot oil.
  Turn to brown evenly. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
  Let cool and then roll in confectioners sugar or a mixture of white 
  granulated sugar and cinnamon. 
  Makes about 3 dozen 1 1/2" donuts.

  Dear Phaedrus,
  I am searching for a recipie to make Honey Crackles. The main ingredients 
  are honey and cornflakes.  Mum used to make it 25 years ago or so and now 
  I want to make it for my  own kids. Unfortunately Mum no longer has the 
  recipie and can't remember how to make them. She thinks the recipie might 
  have been on the Kellogs Corn Flakes box. I have searched the Kelloggs site 
  and they do not have the recipie there.  We are in Australia but doubt that 
  the recipie was only in Australia.

  I would greatly appreciate your help.

  Cheers,
  Robyn

Miracle Whip

Hello Ruth,

Ruth, "Miracle Whip" is not mayo. It's not even very good salad dressing. I know that lots of people use Miracle Whip on sandwiches and call it "mayonnaise", but it's not. Kraft does make a mayonnaise. It's called "Kraft Real Mayonnaise." It doesn't taste sweet like Miracle Whip does. It's creamy and tangy, like mayo should be. Kraft does make some excellent salad dressings, too, but Miracle Whip is not really a salad dressing, either. Who would go to a restaurant and order a salad with "Miracle Whip?"

Anyhow, below is a copycat recipe for "Miracle Whip", whatever it is, and below that is Emeril Lagasse's recipe for a very simple, good, homemade mayo. Tangy, with No sugar.
