These are my grandma Clark's donuts. Our family LOVES them! They always go over quickly. I also entered them into the local fair and won a blue ribbon with them! They actually do last more than 1-2 days and taste OK although soggy. I prefer them fresh, warm, and crunchy. The yield is just a guess, I never remember how many they make and by the time I think to count half are gone:) I fry mine 3 at a time in a fry daddy in vegetable oil, my grandma uses a square electric skillet and fries 4-6 at a time.
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons nutmeg
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon

2 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
3 cups flour
