Woolworth's Orange Twist Donuts
1 pkg. dry yeast 3/4 c. warm water (105-115 degrees) 3 tbsp. sugar 1 egg 2 tbsp. instant nonfat dry milk powder 2 tbsp. butter, melted 1/2 tsp. salt 3 1/4 c. all-purpose flour, divided 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour Vegetable cooking spray 3 tbsp. sugar 3 tbsp. grated orange rind 1/2 c. sifted powdered sugar 1 tbsp. unsweetened orange juice
Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons sugar, egg, milk powder, melted butter, salt and 2 cups flour; beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until well blended. Gradually stir in enough of the remaining 1 1/4 cups flour to make a soft dough.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon flour evenly over work surface. Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (about 8-10 minutes). Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
Punch dough down and roll into a 14 x 12 inch rectangle. Combine 3 tablespoons sugar and orange rind, stir well, and sprinkle over dough. Fold dough in half lengthwise; cut into 18 (3/4 inch) strips. Twist each strip twice and place 2 inches apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray.
Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes or until golden. Combine powdered sugar and juice; drizzle over twists.
