Delectable Cake Doughnuts

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 quarts olive oil for deep frying
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup white sugar



In a large bowl, stir together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon
and nutmeg. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, butter, and vanilla. Mix until well
blended. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Heat oil in a heavy skillet or deep fryer to 370 degrees F. On a floured board, roll chilled dough
out to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a 3 inch round cutter to cut out doughnuts. Use a smaller cutter to
cut holes from center. If you do not have a small cutter, use the mouth of a bottle.

Fry doughnuts in hot oil until golden brown, turning once. Remove from oil to drain on paper
plates. Combine the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 cups sugar in a large resalable
bag. Place a few warm doughnuts into the bag at a time, seal and shake to coat. Makes 18
doughnuts.
