Homemade Doughnuts Recipe

3-½ cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbl. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
¾ tsp. salt
½ tsp. ground nutmeg
1/3 cup milk
½ cup butter, melted
4 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup sugar
Vegetable oil for deep fat frying
Cinnamon-Sugar or sifted powdered sugar

1. In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg; set aside. In another bowl combine milk and melted butter. In a large mixing bowl combine eggs and sugar; beat with electric mixer until thick (about 5 min.) Add milk mixture; stir with wooden spoon to combine. Add flour mixture and stir with wooden spoon until smooth. Cover dough; chill 2 hours (dough will remain slightly sticky).
2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough to ½” thickness. Cut dough with a floured 2 ½ inch round cutter. Use a 1 ¼” cutter to cut the hole for the doughnut. (You can also use a standard doughnut cutter.)
3. Fry 2-3 doughnuts at a time in deep hot fat (375°F) for 2- 2 ½ minutes or until brown, turning halfway through with a slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels. Repeat.
4. Shake warm doughnuts in a bag with Cinnamon-Sugar or powdered sugar. You can also make a glaze for your doughnuts. Serve warm (or reheat each doughnut 8-10 seconds in microwave on high.)
