Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tb Vegetable shortening
1 c Sugar
2 Beaten eggs
4 3/4 c Flour
2 ts Baking powder
1 t Salt
3/4 c Milk
1/2 ts Nutmeg
1/2 ts Vanilla powder or
-vanilla extract.

Cream shortening and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and
vanilla if using extract and beat well. Combine dry
ingredients (including vanilla if using powder) then
sift together. Add dry mixture to creamed mixture,
alternating with milk. Roll dough 1/2 inch thick on
floured board. Cut into rounds, and cut out centers. A
glass works well for cutting, with a small, empty
prescription pill bottle to cut the centers. The
centers can be rolled together for more doughnuts or
fried as they are for 'donut holes.' Deep fry in
vegetable oil, turning once, until browned. Drain on
grocery bag (to absorb oil) and dust with
confectioner's sugar. Yield: depends on how thin you
roll, and what you do with the centers.
