Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 Tbsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 Tbsp shortening
• 1 cup sour milk

Preparation

Step 1

Mix sugar, nutmeg, soda, salt, eggs, milk and shortening. Add enough flour to roll out dough on a floured surface and cut with doughnut cutter. Heat shortening to 375 degrees F. and drop doughnuts in, turning several times. Drain on soft crumpled paper. Cool and dust with powdered sugar, or granulated sugar and or with cinnamon, or drizzle with glaze (see below) if desired. Repeat with doughnut centers.


Mix powdered sugar, vanilla and milk with a fork to desired consistency. Thicken with powdered sugar or thin down with milk.
