Still cleaning out my files and rediscovered a favorite for when you want to spoil your family! The scent of these donuts always wakes my brood up from the soundest sleeps!
Cake Doughnuts
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground clove
2 tablespoons shortening
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
Heat oil in deep fryer or heavy kettle to 375 degrees.
Beat 1 ½ cups of the flour and the remaining ingredients in large mixing bowl on low speed, scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 2 minutes. Stir in remaining flour. Turn dough onto well-floured board; roll out 3/8th inch thick. Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Slide doughnuts into hot oil with wide spatula. Turn doughnuts as they rise to surface. Fry until golden brown, 1 to 1 ½ minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve plain, sugared or frosted.
