Ingredients

  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour divided
  • 1 1/2 squares Unsweetened Chocolate
  • 1 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Into large bowl, add 1 1/2 cups flour. Set aside.
  • Place chocolate in double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. Melt chocolate.
  • When chocolate has melted add to flour.
  • Add 1 1/4 cup sugar, vanilla, buttermilk, eggs, shorting, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat with a mixer at low speed, just until smooth, constantly scraping bowl.
  • Then at medium speed, beat 1 minute, constantly scraping bowl.
  • Add in remaining flour. Beat gently to make soft dough.
  • Cover and place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour, to make dough easier to handle.
  • Flour a large work surface and rolling pin.
  • Roll dough out to 1/2-inch thick.
  • Using a floured doughnut cutter, cut out doughnuts.
  • Reroll and cut trimmings until all dough is used.
  • Pour oil into a deep fryer to a depth of about 3 to 4 inches.
  • Heat oil to vegetable oil to 350°F as measured by a candy thermometer.
  • When oil is hot, gently place 4 or 5 dough rings at a time into oil. Do not crowd.
  • Turn with a pancake turner as they rise to surface. Then turn often until golden brown.
  • Lift doughnuts from oil with slotted spoon. Place on a paper towel-covered plate to drain.
  • Repeat until all doughnuts are fried.
  • Serve as is or sprinkle with confectioners' sugar while still warm.
