3 1/2 C flour
1 T baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/3 C milk
1/2 C butter
4 eggs, beaten
2/3 C sugar

Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg; set aside. In another bowl, combine milk and melted butter. In a large mixing bowl combine eggs and sugar; beat with electric mixer until thick (about 5 minutes). Add milk mixture; stir with wooden spoon to combine. Add flour mixture and stir with wooden spoon until smooth. Cover and chill for 2 hours.

Then, turn dough out on a lightly floured surface and roll to 1/2" thickness. Cut with a doughnut cutter or a 2 1/2 " round cutter and a 1 1/2" round cutter for the center.

Fry 2 or 3 at a time in deep fat (375 degrees) for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes or until brown. Turn halfway through with a slotted spoon. Drain on paper towel.

Shake warm donuts in a bag of either cinnamon and sugar or powdered sugar.
