Better than the store bought ones! Ingredients:
3/4 cup scalded milk |
1/3 cup sugar |
1/4 tsp. salt |
1 pkg. active dry yeast |
1/4 cup warm water |
4 cups flour |
1 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg |
1/3 cup butter |
2 eggs, beaten |
oil for deep frying |
--glaze |
2 cups powdered sugar |
6 tbsp. milk |
1/4 tsp. vanilla |
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, stir together the scalded milk, sugar and salt. Set aside until tepid. Stir nutmeg into the flour, and add 2 cups of the mixture to the milk, and beat until well blended.
2. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Stir into the milk and flour mixture, then mix in the butter and eggs. Mix in the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time. When dough is firm enough, turn it out onto a floured surface, and knead for 3-4 minutes. Place into an oiled bowl, cover and allow to rise until doubled in bulk. This should take 30-45 minutes.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/2 in thickness. Cut with a doughnut cutter. Set aside to rise for 30-40 minutes, or until light.
4. Heat 1 of oil in a deep heavy frying pan to 375*. Fry doughnuts a few at a time. Cook on each side until golden brown, then remove to paper towels. Glaze while warm, or just sprinkle with sugar or cinnamon and sugar.
