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


One egg,
one cup of sugar,
ONE CUP SWEET MILK
PINCH OF SALK
2 TEASPOONS OF BAKING POWDER
2 CUPS FLOUR
1/2 TEASPOON GINGER
1/4 tEASPOON NUTMEG

ONE EGG, ONE CUP OF SUGAR two tablespoons of butter, beaten together till creamy. Add one cup of sweet milk, a pinch of salt, two teaspoons of baking powder stirred into two cups of flour. Add one-half teaspoon of ginger and one-fourth teaspoon of nutmeg to the flour.

Beat well, roll out about one-fourth of an inch thick. Cut out all the cakes before beginning to fry. Cook in deep fat that will fry a small walnut-sized ball of the dough in about sixty-five seconds. Do not let the fat get above that degree of heat.
