Cinnamon Sugar Donuts

Cinnamon Sugar Donuts

I love love love cinnamon sugar donut holes. I found this recipe on The Novice Chef, and it's a keeper. So when my hubby asks me if there is anything for breakfast, I can say sure, let me just whip up some fresh donuts for you :)

ingredients:

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 egg

1/2 cup sugar

1 tablespoon melted butter

1/2 cup milk

Cinnamon and sugar

Oil

directions:

Whisk together the flour, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and baking powder in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside. Whisk together the egg, sugar, butter, and milk in a large-sized bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and combine thoroughly. The batter will be sticky, so either use a spoon or a pastry bag to extrude the dough for frying.

Pour two inches of oil into a heavy medium saucepan. When the oil is hot, extrude a ball of dough approximately an inch in diameter into the oil. Fry the donuts until they are golden brown, then remove them and place them on a paper towel. If the oil is too hot, the donuts will brown before they are cooked through, so it is a good idea to sample a couple as you go along and adjust the heat accordingly. While the donuts are still hot, drop them into a bowl with half a cup of sugar and a few sprinklings of cinnamon. Move the donuts around until they are well-coated.
