Ordinary Doughnuts

Ingredients

two cups all-purpose flour
half cup white sugar
one teaspoon salt
one tablespoon baking powder
quarter teaspoon ground cinnamon
one dash ground nutmeg
two tablespoons melted butter
half cup milk
one egg, beaten
one quart oil for frying

Instructions:

In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix in butter till crumbly. Mix in milk and egg till smooth. Knead lightly, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat to quarter inch thickness. Slice with a doughnut cutter, or use two round biscuit cutters of different sizes.

Carefully drop doughnuts into hot oil, a few at a time. Do not overcrowd pan or oil may overflow. Fry, turning once, for three minutes or till golden. Drain on paper towels.
