2 TBSP melted Crisco
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
2 3/4 cups sifted flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup mashed potatoes
Crisco for deep frying
Confectionery sugar
Bled Crisco, egg and milk. In separate bowl mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Combine the two mixtures with the mashed potatoes and mix thoroughly. Roll on lightly floured board and cut with floured doughnut cutter. Fry in deep Crisco heated to 365 degrees, 3-5 minutes. Drain on absorbent paper. Dip in powdered sugar.
Comments: I remember my mom making these doughnuts. They were delicious! I am posting this recipe for my Aunt Betty who also remembers them. I will make these as soon as someone will stop by on a Saturday or Sunday morning to help me eat them. If my memory serves me, they are best immediately after fried, covered in powdered sugar. So, consider yourself invited. Just let me know when you are coming so I can make sure I have mashed potatoes available. I can't wait!

Chocolate-Chip Oatmeal Scones
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 TBSP brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/3 cup real butter, softened a little
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 beaten large egg
1/4 cup milk
In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. Cut in butter with a pastry utensil or two butter knives side by side until resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in oat and chocolate chips. Combine egg and 1/3 cup milk; add to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (dough will be a little sticky).
On a lightly floured surface, pat dough into a 7 inch circle. Cut into 6 large or 12 small wedges. Place on a baking sheet. Brush with milk if desired. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 10-12 minutes until light brown.
Comments: This recipe came from the most dedicated, creative and fun piano teacher our family ever had, her name is Linda. Her recitals always had a theme, a play like "script", often included costumes, always had prizes, and ended with a treat! These scones were offered after a "tea" themed recital and have become a favorite go-to scone for many Sunday mornings since. They mix up quickly and are ready just as quickly. Chocolate in the morning, who could ask for more!
