This pre-1940's recipe is included in Chef Ain't B's "Grandma's Wartime Edition Cookbook". I am the proud owner of my mother-in-law's donut maker to help me to shape these correctly. It's actually a Ron Popeil product, believe it or not!

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons fat
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon OR nutmeg (I may try 1/4 of each!)

Directions
  1. Cream fat.
  2. Add sugar.
  3. Add milk and well-beaten egg.

  7. Knead slightly until smooth.
  8. Roll dough to 1/2" thickness.
  9. Cut dough with floured donut cutter.
  10. Fry in deep fat about 2 minutes.
  11. They should rise to the top quickly.
