Pioneer Donuts (no yeast)

No Yeast Pioneer Donuts Here’s a very good old pioneer doughnut recipe with no yeast. Many are into no yeast recipes today for better health results. Remember you can always have your own buttermilk on hand at all times by using a start from a commercial one, add it to a quart jar and top it with milk. Keep this going like you would sour dough starters. The recipe is the same as the yogurt started in this blog. If you use whole-wheat flour use the lighter style if possible (bakers whole wheat or soft spring wheat for baking) To use whole wheat use either less flour except if you’re using honey. It’s liquid enough to handle the change in absorption of the fibrous whole-wheat in any recipes. Apple Pie Spice is so expensive if you can even find it now. I had to make my own to use in recipes such as this one. (It is just one part cinnamon, ½ part nutmeg and ¼ part allspice) Combine and store in dark tight container. Do not store on top or near heat. Use this in anything like, apple pie, cakes, cookies and fruit dishes, that calls for cinnamon, it gives it a better tastes.
