Plain Cake Doughnuts
NO YEAST

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 dash ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 quart oil for frying

Directions

1. Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix in butter until crumbly. Stir in milk and egg until smooth. Knead lightly, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with a doughnut cutter, or use two round biscuit cutters of different sizes.
3. Carefully drop doughnuts into hot oil, a few at a time. Do not overcrowd pan or oil may overflow. Fry, turning once, for 3 minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towels.  

I Changed this recipe, a bit. Here are my notes:

• AWESOME EASY doughnuts!! - minus nutmeg. I used half and half, instead of milk. 
• FOR BEST RESULTS: Use a medium to small biscuit cutter or drinking glass, instead of a doughnut cutter. I cut the hole with the lid from the half and half carton. (I tried all three -third, being a doughnut cutter. Using a doughnut cutter made the doughnuts greasy, during the cooking process-due to the size.) 
• Cooking: I used an Emeril deep fryer.
