CAke donuts
14 donuts
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 eggs
- 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 4 cups flour (plus a little more if dough is sticky)
- oil
(for frying)
- cinnamon
sugar
Directions
1.
In a large bowl mix the sugar,
baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
2.
Add eggs, milk and melted butter.
Beat well.
3.
Add 3 cups of the flour, beating
until blended. Add one more cup of flour and beat well. The dough should be
soft and sticky but firm enough to handle. If you feel it’s necessary, add up
to 1/2 cup more flour.
4.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill
for *at* *least* one hour.
5.
Remove your dough from the fridge
and begin heating about 1" of oil to 360F in a large metal skillet.
6.
Working half the dough at a time,
roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2" thickness. Cut out circles
using a doughnut cutter or large biscuit or cookie cutter.
7.
Gently drop the doughnuts in batches
into the hot oil. Flip them over as they puff and turn them a couple more times
as they cook. They will take about 2-3 minutes in total and will be lovely and
golden brown all over.
8.
Remove from the oil and set them on paper
towels or brown paper bag.
