  • Author: Al
  • Prep Time: 5-10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 9-12 minutes
  • Total Time: 15-25 minutes plus 1 hour to rise
  • Yield: 12
  • Category: Dessert, Family Recipe
  • Method: Stove Top

Ingredients

  • 2/3 c sugar plus ½ cup for a coating
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 Tbs. butter
  • 1 1/2 c milk
  • 2 1/4 tsp. yeast
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon plus ½ teaspoon for a coating
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Flour
  • 2-3 cups vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl using a whisk mix the sugar, eggs, butter, milk, yeast, nutmeg, cinnamon, and 1 cup flour. Switching the whisk to a rubber spatula continue to add flour, about 3-4 more cups, until the batter is the consistency of bread dough, or doesn’t stick to your finger when touched.  
  2. Let rise for 1 hour.  
  3. Flour your working area and place ¼-⅓ of the dough on the working area.  Flour the top of the dough and using a rolling pin flatten to about ¾ inches thick. Cut out with a doughnut hole cutter.  Repeat with ¼ -⅓ of the dough and add the leftover pieces from before.  Continue until all the dough has been cut out.
  4. In a heavy bottomed pan, over medium heat, add the vegetable oil.  After about 8 minutes drop a doughnut hole into the oil.  If it starts to produce bubbles the oil is hot enough.  If not, wait another 1-2 minutes and try with another doughnut hole.  
  5. Once you have made sure the oil is hot enough, place 3-4 doughnuts into the oil at a time.  When they are golden brown on the bottom flip them and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until both sides are golden brown.  Remove from the oil and place on a plate that has paper towels on it.  
  6. Repeat with the remaining doughnuts, until all have been cooked.
  7. In a small bowl mix ½ cup sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
  8. After the doughnuts have cooled slightly dip them in a sugar/cinnamon mixture.
  9. Best served warm.
