Gingerbread Doughnuts

1/2 c. firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/2 c. molasses
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
3 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 to 3 c. sifted flour
1/2 c. dairy sour cream

Lemon Glaze
1 c. sifted powdered\sugar
1 Tbsp. light cream
1 tea. lemon juice
1/2 tea. grated lemon peel

Combine brown sugar and well beaten egg. Stir in remaining ingredients, except flour and glaze. Work as quickly as possible adding just enough flour to make a soft dough. Flour your hands and pull off 4 pieces of dough, each the size of a plum. Roll each piece quickly between the hands to make a strip, then form a ring, pinching ends together. Drop at once into hot fat (360 degrees F). Cook 4 doughnuts at a time. Keep turning them until they\re brown on each side. Drain. Dip tops of warm doughnuts into Lemon Glaze.
