      Title: Cake Doughnuts
 Categories: Pastries
      Yield: 24 Doughnuts
 
           Vegetable oil; for frying
  3 1/3 c  All-purpose flour
      1 c  Sugar
      3 ts Baking powder
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/4 ts Ground nutmeg
      2 tb Shortening
      2    Eggs
    3/4 c  Milk
 
  Heat oil (2 to 3" deep) in deep-fat fryer or heavy kettle to 375 F.
  Beat 1-1/2 cups flour and the remaining ingredients in large mixer
  bowl, on low speed, scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Beat on
  medium speed, scrape occasionally, 2 minutes. 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 to 1-1/2 minutes on each side. Remove from oil; do not
  prick doughnuts. Drain on paper towels. Serve plain, sugared, or
  frosted.
  
  I shake them in a bag of powdered sugar. Yum Good! Only one problem
  with this recipe... it doesn't make enough! These doughnuts are so
  good that once you start eating them, you can't stop!
