Add to this the liutter and sugar creamed; mace, eggs well beaten, the remainder of the flour to make a soft dough, and last the salt. Knead lightly; place in well-greased bowl; cover and allow to rise again in warm place for about one and a half hours. When light, turn on floured board ; roll to about one fourth inch in thickness. Cut with small doughnut cutter; cover and let rise again, on floured board or paper, in warm place until light — about forty-five minutes. Drop into deep, hot fat with side uppermost which has been next to board. When a film of smoke begins to rise from fat, it will be found a good temperature to cook dough- nuts. Doughnuts made by this method do not absorb the fat, for the reason that they rise before and not after they are put into the grease.
