Ingredients:
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup molasses
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
5 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
vegetable oil
1 cup sugar (optional)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)
Directions:
1. Combine egg and sugar in a large mixing bowl; beat well. Add molasses, buttermilk, and butter; mix well.
2. Sift together flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and spices. Add to molasses mixture, blending well. Cover dough, and chill at least 1 hour.
3. Divide dough in half. Working with one portion at a time, place dough on a floured surface; roll to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut dough with a floured doughnut cutter.
4. Heat 3 to 4 inches of oil to 375°; drop in 3 or 4 doughnuts at a time. Cook 1 minute or until golden brown; turn and cook other side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat cutting and frying procedures with remaining dough.
