1 1/4 cups sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter (melted)
1 cup milk
4 cups flour
Oil for frying
(optional donut toppings: cinnamon, sugar and powdered sugar)
Mix the sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Crack your eggs in a separate container
(to avoid getting shells in your dough) and add the melted butter (not hot!!! you dont want to scramble your eggs) and milk and whisk before adding to your sugar mixture. Now add in your flour one cup full at a time making sure all is incorporated before adding the next cup full. If the dough is still sticky add about 1/4 cup more flour. The dough should be slightly tacky but workable. Grease a bowl and let the dough chill for about an hour.
Once you pull the cold dough out roll it to about 1/2 inch thick. You can use any round objects if you don't have cookie cutters. Make "tire" shaped cutouts.
Combine the left over dough and middles to make more donuts.
Fry in oil rotating sides as the donut puffs.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar as soon as you pull them out of the fryer.
If using powdered sugar, they coat better once they've cooled only slightly.
Who says you can't have your cake donut and eat it too???!
