Sunday Morning Doughnuts

Ingredients

2 cups flour

2 tablespoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ginger

1/4 teaspoon cloves

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 cup milk

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well (clean hands work great for the job).

Turn onto a floured board and knead for a few minutes. Let rest

Roll out to about 1/2" thick and cut out with a doughnut cutter.

Heat about 4" oil (vegetable oil works fine, we use lard) to 360°F

Fry 3 or 4 doughnuts at a time, turning when one side is browned - fry until both sides are nicely browned.

Drain on paper towels or on a paper bag. Makes about one dozen doughnuts.
