Lightly spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. Preparation time is short and well worth the effort. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 cup milk |
1 egg, beaten |
1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 quarts oil for deep frying |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 cup white sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, butter, and vanilla. Mix until well blended. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Heat oil in a deep heavy skillet or deep-fryer to 370 degrees F (185 degrees C). On a floured board, roll chilled dough out to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a 3 inch round cutter to cut out doughnuts. Use a smaller cutter to cut holes from center. If you do not have a small cutter, use the mouth of a bottle.
3. Fry doughnuts in hot oil until golden brown, turning once. Remove from oil to drain on paper plates. Combine the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 cup sugar in a large resealable bag. Place a few warm donuts into the bag at a time, seal and shake to coat.
