MMM...donuts.

This recipe won't make lovely light donuts like Krispy Kreme. These are traditional cake donuts so they will be heavier and a bit denser, but still darn good!

What I also love about this recipe is that from start to finish, you can be done in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I tend to use about 1 tsp)
• 1 dash ground nutmeg (I tend to use about 1 tsp)
  
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 quart oil for frying
  

Method

1. Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix in butter until crumbly. Stir in milk and egg until smooth. Knead lightly, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with a doughnut cutter, or use two round biscuit cutters of different sizes.
3. Carefully drop doughnuts into hot oil, a few at a time. Do not overcrowd pan or oil may overflow. Fry, turning once, for 3 minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towels.
