Cake Doughnuts

This challenge didn't narrow down my list much.  Every recipe I use is stolen from somewhere, but I do usually change it up a bit to make it "mine".  These doughnuts were a super easy and fun to make, and for a first attempt, they turned out beautifully!  I made a simple frosting glaze with extra cinnamon to pour over the top.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup white sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 dash ground nutmeg 2 tablespoons melted butter 1/2 cup milk 1 egg, beaten 1 quart oil for frying

Directions:

1.	Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2.	In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix in butter until crumbly. Stir in milk and egg until smooth. Knead lightly, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with a doughnut cutter, or use two round biscuit cutters of different sizes.
3.	Carefully drop doughnuts into hot oil, a few at a time. Do not overcrowd pan or oil may overflow. Fry, turning once, for 3 minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towels.
