These doughnuts are very wholesome and excellent for children. They do
not contain any shortening and should be fried very carefully in fat at
just the right temperature so that no grease will be absorbed. They can
be served plain or sprinkled with powdered sugar after they have
thoroughly drained and cooled.
2 eggs
¾ cup milk
2¾ cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons Dr. Price’s Baking Powder
1 cup sugar
½ teaspoon nutmeg or cinnamon
Save ⅓ cup of measured flour for board. Beat eggs until light; add milk,
then add this liquid to the dry ingredients which have been sifted well
together. Roll out ¼ inch thick on slightly floured board and fry in
deep fat (365°-375°). Drain well on unglazed paper. Sprinkle with
powdered sugar.
Makes 30 doughnuts.
_All measurements are level_

“Dear me” mused Hun Bun, while the pup
Licked Billy on the ear,
“A boy as thin as you could not
Be President I fear.”
And hopping on the table
He began to walk around,
He peered into each plate and dish,
Then even Hun Bun frowned.
And leaning on his pep’mint cane
And looking really hurt,
The bun boy King called dolefully,
“Why, where is the dessert?”
In rage he shook his candy cane,
As will such angry kings;
And roared, “It’s plain to see your fare
Lacks most essential things.
“No cakes, no cookies and no buns,
No biscuits—not a tart!
None of the things real fellows like,
Why Bill, it breaks my heart!
“It seems your mother does not know
What youngsters like to eat,
It surely is high time, I think,
That she and I should meet!”
