 Categories: Breads, Snacks
      Yield: 15 Doughnuts
 
      2 c  All-purpose flour
      1 ts (level) baking powder
      1 tb Lard
  1 1/2 c  Sugar
    1/4 ts (level) salt
    1/4 ts (level) ground nutmeg
    1/4 ts (level) ground cinnamon
    1/2 c  Milk
      1 lg Egg
           Lard for deep frying
 
  Recipe courtesy Salvation Army
  
  Reserve 1/4 cup of the flour for the board. Combine the
  remaining flour with the baking powder and set aside.
  Cream the lard, 1/2 cup of the sugar, salt, nutmeg and
  cinnamon. Add milk and well-beaten egg and stir. Then add
  the flour-baking powder mixture. Work into a soft dough
  and roll onto the floured board into a 1/4" thick sheet.
  
  Cut into the desired shape and fry in the oil, heated to
  about 375ºF/190ºC. Turn donuts frequently while frying.
  
  The fat should be hot enough to give the donuts a rich
  golden-russet color in 3 minutes. While hot, roll donuts
  in remaining sugar. This recipe will make about 15 good
  sized donuts.
