       Yield: 1 Servings
  
            -Vegetable oil, for frying
   3 1/3 c  Flour, all-purpose
       1 c  Sugar
       3 ts Baking powder
     1/2 ts Salt
     1/2 ts Cinnamon, ground
     1/4 ts Nutmeg,ground
       2 tb Shortening (I use Crisco)
       2    Eggs
     3/4 c  Milk
  
   Heat oil (2-3" deep) in deep-fat fryer or heavy kettle to 375. Beat 1 1/2
   c. of the flour and the remaining ingredients in large mixer bowl, on low
   speed, scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed, scrape
   occasionally, 2 min.  Stir in remaining flour. Turn dough onto well-floured
   cloth-covered board; roll around to lightly coat with flour. Roll gently
   3/8" thick.  Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Slide doughnuts into hot oil
   with wide spatula. Turn doughnuts as they rise to surface. Fry until golden
   brown, 1-1 1/2 min. on each side. Remove from oil; do not prick doughnuts.
   Drain on paper towels. Serve plain, sugared, or frosted. 2 Dozen Doughnuts.
