How to Make Orange Drop Doughnuts
 1. To avoid splashes of oil, use two dinner teaspoons to "drop" the doughnut batter carefully into the oil.  2. When the doughnuts are deep brown and float to the top of the oil, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels.  3. Let the doughnuts drain for 5 minutes, then transfer them to the orange sugar and toss until coated. |  | | Orange Drop Doughnuts 
Makes 24 to 30 You'll need 3 oranges for the zest and juice. 1. For the coating: Pulse sugar and zest in food processor until blended, about 5 pulses. Transfer to medium bowl. (If making by hand, toss zest and sugar in medium bowl using fork until evenly blended.) 2. For the doughnuts: Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in 4-quart saucepan until temperature reaches 350 degrees. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in medium bowl. Whisk eggs, sugar, and orange zest in large bowl. Whisk in orange juice, then butter, until well combined. Stir in flour mixture until evenly moistened. 3. Using two dinner teaspoons, carefully drop heaping spoonfuls of batter into hot oil. (You should be able to fit about 6 spoonfuls in pan at one time. Do not overcrowd.) Fry, maintaining temperature between 325 and 350 degrees, until doughnuts are crisp and deeply browned on all sides, 3 to 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer doughnuts to plate lined with paper towels. Drain for 5 minutes. Add doughnuts to bowl with orange sugar and toss until well coated. Place on serving plate and repeat with remaining batter, regulating oil temperature as necessary. Doughnuts are best served warm. |
