Directions: |
Directions:The dough requires chilling for 2 or more hours. I usually mix the dough the night before so we can fry them in the morning.
In a bowl stir 2-1/4 cups of the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar and vanilla; beat with mixer until thick. Warm the milk and combine with the melted butter. And flour mixture and milk mixture alternately to the egg mixture, beating until just blended after each addition. Stir in the remaining one cup of flour. Cover the dough and chill for 2 or more hours.
Begin heating the oil in a pan on low-medium heat. You want it to get to 375 degrees and be about an inch deep. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to 1/2 inch thick. Cut out the donuts and donut holes, re-rolling as necessary. Prepare your bowls of toppings.
Fry two or three donuts at a time in the oil for about a minute on each side. Turn with a slotted spoon. Immediately place in prepared toppings, then set on a cookie sheet to cool. You may need to fiddle with the heat and check your first batches to make sure they done through. |

Notes: I have fond memories of making these cake donuts with my mom, Myra, when I was a girl. This family favorite is a recipe from my old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. They have changed up the recipe since this publication, but this is the one we use.
