"A simple way to make yummy doughnuts. Let the kids join in the fun by shaking them in a bag of cinnimon and sugar. A special treat. Two people; one to drop the dough and one to turn and remove doughnuts is helplful. If alone, I suggest frying in batches."

¹⁄₄ teaspoon baking soda
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
1 pinch nutmeg
3 pinches cinnamon, to taste
1 egg

directions

In med bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
In a seperate bowl, whisk egg, 1/3 C sugar, milk, butter.
Add egg mixture to dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
Heat 2 inches of oil over med-low heat, when drop of water sizzles, you're ready to start dropping the dough inches.
Using a spoon to scoop and a fork to push dough off, drop small amounts of dough into oil (I make them about 1 tsp)
If they do not turn themselves, turn after approx 1 min (should be lightly browned).
After both sides are done, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel covered plate to drain.
While still warm/hot, place several doughnuts in a brown paper bag with 1/3 C sugar and 1 Tbs cinnamon (or just confec. sugar) and shake to coat.

Hi all! Just a bit about me I suppose... I live in Chicago,IL, the city of big shoulders, one of the finest cities in the world! I spend my days at the Shedd aquarium with the belugas, dolphins, penguins, and otters there (mostly getting wet and dirty!) And I'm also workin' on my masters in marine biology. I love to cook, and have found Zaar to be a wonderful resource full of great food and great folks... two of the most important things in life :) Being born in Israel and of Tunisian decent, food is naturally quite important to me.. so this is fun! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
