4 cups sifted flour
4 teaspoons Calumet Baking Powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
¼ teaspoon lemon extract
2 tablespoons melted butter or other shortening
1 cup milk
Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder, salt, and nutmeg, and sift
together three times. Add sugar to eggs, beating thoroughly; then lemon
extract and shortening. Add flour, alternately with milk, mixing well
after each addition. Knead lightly on slightly floured board. Roll ⅓
inch thick; cut with floured 1¾-inch doughnut cutter. Fry in deep fat
(385°F.) until golden brown, turning frequently. Drain on unglazed
paper. Sprinkle powdered or fine granulated sugar over doughnuts, if
desired. Makes 4 dozen small doughnuts.
