Doughnuts. — Break eggs into a bowl and before beating add sugar, beat a little, then add the milk, then flour, to which has been added the baking powder, nutmeg, and salt, before it was sifted. Work in enough flour to make a soft dough, but do not roll out more than one-third of the dough at once. Roll this one-eighth inch thick ; they will be raw in the middle if thicker. Cut out a great many before you start to frying them. The grease must be boiling. Take out as soon as they are a golden brown and roll them in pulverized sugar. Use a regular doughnut cutter, since they fry better with a hole in the center. — Housekeeper.
