Sweet milk Doughnuts

Sweet milk Doughnuts

2 tablespoons fat
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup sweet milk
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg
3 to 4 cups of flour { just enough to make a soft dough }

Cream fat,add sugar, add milk and well beaten egg. Add 3 cups flour mixed
and sifted with dry ingredients, then enough more flour to make dough just
stiff enough to roll. With knife, toss about1/3 of dough onto a floured board,
knead slightly to make smooth. Roll to thickness of about 1/4 inch. Use flour
spatula freely to prevent dough from sticking to board. Cut with floured
doughnut cutter. Fry in deep fat about 2 minutes. They should come quickly to the
top. Brown on one side, turn and brown on the other side. Turn but once.
Drain over fat and then on absorbent paper. When partly cool, or just before
serving, sprinkle with powder sugar, or frost with favorite frosting.
