Doughnuts

Ingredients/Components

• sugar - 1 c
• cinnamon - 1/4 tsp
• eggs - 2 item
• milk - 1 c

• flour
• nutmeg - 1/4 tsp

How to make doughnuts:

Combine shortening, sugar and eggs. Cream. Add dry ingredients alternately. Add milk into flour mixture. Blend well. Cover and chill 1 hour.

Place on lightly floured board. If too soft, knead in a small amount of flour. Roll out a small amount of dough at a time to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with doughnut cutter, dipped in flour. Drop into hot grease, 365° to 375°, deep enough to float doughnuts. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, until brown.

Drain on paper towels or use a paper grocery bag. Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar or cinnamon and sugar, mixed.
