Apple Soup

This is a good soup for that cold winter day or for a hot summer day when chilled.

2 cups chicken stock
1 tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. paprika
juice of half a lemon

Malasadas (Portuguese Doughnuts) Mylasados

The recipe that I have is an old one and spells this as Mylasados instead of Malasadas. None-the-less these are Portuguese doughnuts. My recipe says that this can be made the day before Lent, and used instead of pancakes.  Simple recipe with only a few ingredients.  My Kinda Cooking!!

 

*******************************

1 cup flour
½ heaping tsp. baking powder
1 egg
Pinch of salt

Beat all together until blended. Wait 10 minutes before frying. Heat oil in small pan, 3-4 inches of oil. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls, 3 or 4 at a time. After they brown, turn over with a fork to brown other side.

Remove and put in a bowl lined with paper towels. Then place in a paper bag with 3-4 tablespoons of sugar and shake. Serve hot. Can be eaten with syrup.

The recipe doesn't specify Regular or Powdered sugar. I think powdered sugar with a little cinnamon would be delish!
