2 tbsp. melted butter
1 c. sugar
4 egg yolks
1 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
3 c. sifted flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
(1/2 tsp. nutmeg may be used if desired)

Combine butter, sugar, egg yolks and 1/4 cup of the milk. Beat one minute on medium speed with the mixer. Add rest of milk and vanilla. Sift flour and baking powder and salt together. Add 1/2 to the first mixture. Beat one minute and add the rest of the flour.

Mix well; drop small amounts from the end of a teaspoon into deep fat that has been heated to 370 degrees. Cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side. (You may use a drop doughnut maker.) Drain on absorbent paper (paper towels work very well) and roll in sugar.
