Basic Cake Donuts

Red LOVES cake donuts.  I like all the wiz-bang gadgets on mine!  So...doing what any good wife would do....I made cake donuts!

I've made bagels before, they're slightly different and of course the consistency is quite drastic from the other.

These are fantastic, so simple and so good!

2 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tblsp baking powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 tblsps melted butter
1/2 cup of milk
1 beaten egg
1 quart of oil for frying

In a mixing bowl, sift sugar, flour, salt, nutmeg, baking powder together.  Add melted butter and stir until just combined.  Beat egg into the milk and mix.  Dough will be slightly sticky.

Heat oil to 350 degrees.

On a well floured surface, roll dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness.  Cut with round biscuit cutter and make small hole in the center of circle.  Drop donuts two at a time into the oil.  Fry for 2 minutes and let dry on paper towel lined plate.


Enjoy! :)
