I use small Corning ware dishes for these.

  1. In a mixing bowl, blend together, using a mixer at low speed, the remaining sugar, egg, margarine, dough enhancer, and yeast water.
  2. Beat in half the flour mixture.
  3. With a spoon, stir in the remaining flour and beat until smooth.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared rings or dishes.
  5. Cover and let rise in a warm place until the batter doubles, 40 – 45 minutes for regular yeast; 20 – 25 minutes for rapid rise.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°.
  7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until browned lightly and pulled slightly away from the rings.
