Cake Doughnuts

Like Mom (Doris) used to make

Dough:

3-1/2 cups sifted all-purpose Flour

4-1/2 tsps Baking Powder

1/2 tsp. Nutmeg, 1/2 tsp. Mace, 1 tsp. Salt

Sift these first 5 ingredients together.

3 tbsp melted Butter or Margarine

1 cup granulated Sugar

Cream together with spoon until light.

4 Egg Yolks, beaten

Add to butter and sugar; beat well with spoon.

Add 1 tsp Real Vanilla and blend.

Add thirds of flour mixture alternately with

1 cup + 2 tbsp Milk

Begin and end with flour mixture.

If necessary, add up to 1/2 cup more flour to make a easily handled dough.

Frying:

Chill dough 1 hour or longer.

Roll dough on floured board to 1/2" thickness; cut with small, floured doughnut cutter. Fry in 1-1/2" shortening, lard, or salad oil, heated to 375 degrees on deep fat thermometer.

Fry as many at one time as will float easily on fat. (Probably three.) As soon as the doughnuts rise to the surface, turn. Turn often until golden and done. Remove and drain on brown paper. Cool and roll in granulated or powdered sugar.
