Breakfast Donuts

By Mary E from Apron Strings and Simmering Things- Taken from “Tartlette”

4 1/4 c flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 c sugar
4 tbs melted unsalted butter
1 c milk
1 tsp vanilla
oil for frying.

Sift dry ingredients together.
Beat eggs and sugar until light. Add cooled melted butter, vanilla, and milk. Add dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
Knead lightly on a floured surface, roll 1/8" thick, and cut with floured doughnut cutter. OR roll into 1 inch balls. If using the cutter, be careful not to twist the cutter but cut straight down. Fry at 370F until golden on one side and then turn and fry until done. Set on a paper towel to soak up excess oil. Do not allow to cool completely and roll in cinnamon sugar or frost with confectioners frosting.

Confectioners frosting:
1/4 c melted butter, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and add enough confectioners sugar in to make a good glaze.

Eat while warm.
You can freeze these unglazed and heat in a 375 oven as needed.
