whats not to love about a good fresh hot doughnut Ingredients:
vegetable oil -- for frying |
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup sugar |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
2 tablespoons shortening |

Directions:
1. Heat oil (2 to 3 inches) in deep-fat fryer or heavy kettle to 375 F.
