Total time:

Wet Ingredients
 

• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup whipping cream
• 2/3 cup milk
   

Dry Ingredients
 

• 1 cup white sugar
• 3 cup all purpose flour (plus more to make soft dough, add more if necessary)
• 4 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• Cinnamon sugar mixture for coating
• Oil for frying
• 2 large mixing bowls

 

Directions:

 

1. In one bowl, beat eggs slightly and add sugar. Beat in the cream and milk.
2. In the second bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg with a wire whisk.
3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring together to mix thoroughly. Add enough additional flour to make a soft dough.
4. Place on a lightly floured work surface and roll until about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into doughnut shapes.
5. Using a pan safe enough for 1inch of oil, heat to 350.
6. Fry the doughnuts, a few at a time until golden on both sides. Place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Using tongs (they are hot), toss in a bag with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Serve warm with a big glass of milk.
7. According the original writer, these can be frozen after they have been fried. Just thaw and toss in your cinnamon sugar mixture.
