DOUGHNUTS

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 tablespoons Melted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 1/2 teaspoon Grated nutmeg
• 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying) (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 1/2 cup Powdered sugar (For dusting, quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until combined. Add the eggs and milk, whisking until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the nutmeg, and 2 1/2 cups of flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a stiff dough forms.
2. 2Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut the dough into strips approximately 3 inches long and 1 inch wide. Make a 1-inch long slit in the center of each strip. Pull one end of each strip through the slit to create the classic doughnut shape.
3. 3Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the doughnuts in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the doughnuts with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
4. 4While the doughnuts are still warm, dust them generously with powdered sugar. Serve immediately and enjoy!
