This plain donut recipe is taken from an old Canadian
newspaper clipping found in Mom's recipe scrapbook,
circa 1920.
Recipes such as this were popular in many kitchens in the
early 1900s.

donuts - Plain #1, fried

1 egg
1 cup granulated white sugar
2 Tablespoons butter
pinch of salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups flour
1 cup sweet milk

Beat egg, sugar and butter together until creamy.
Add milk and beat well. Set aside.
Mix the salt, baking powder, ginger and nutmeg to
the flour and stir together.
Beat everything together well.
Then roll dough out about 1/4 of an inch thick.
Cut out all the donut/cakes before beginning to fry.
Cook in deep fat that will fry a small walnut sized
ball of the dough in about 65 seconds.
Do not let the fat get above that degree of heat.
