Since it's the last weekend of waterfowl season for awhile I decided to make some homemade donuts for Nate to take out in the morning. I had never made donuts before and I usually don't like to make things that are soooo bad for you, but at the same time so delicious...it's dangerous lol!
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
3 eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup milk
Oil for deep frying
In a large bowl combine butter and 1 cup of sugar and beat until crumbly. Then add eggs, one at a time.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and 1 tsp. cinnamon; add to butter mixture alternating with milk. Cover, place in fridge and let rest for 2 hours.
Turn dough out onto floured surface and roll out until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter, cut out donuts. In a skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375 degrees F.
Fry donuts a few at a time until golden brown on both sides. Drain on a paper towel.
For Cinnamon Sugar donuts, combine remaining sugar and cinnamon and immediately coat donuts after briefly patting the excess oil off. For maple glaze, combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of milk and 3-4 tablespoons of maple syrup. Mix good and dip donuts.
