  • 1/2 teaspoon [2.5 mL] salt
  • 1 teaspoon [5 mL] cinnamon

  • Preheat some shortening into a deep-fryer until really hot.
  • Meanwhile, into a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  • Mix together beaten eggs and milk before beating mixture, a little at time*.
  • *If batter looks too thin, do not add all the eggs and milk liquid [batter should be thicker than pancake batter].
  • Peel, core then slice apples into 1/2-inch [2.5-cm] thick rings.
  • Sprinkle apple rings with lemon juice; dip apple rings first in sugar and then in batter, until completely coated.
  • Deep-fry doughnuts, a few at a time into really hot oil until golden brown on both sides, turning once.
