2 tbsp. butter
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 c. sugar
1 c. milk
4 1/2 c. self-rising flour

Cream the butter which should be soft but not melted; add sugar and blend well; add well-beaten eggs. Add nutmeg to the flour and add to the first mixture alternately with the milk. Turn the dough out to a floured board, cut and cook in deep fat hot enough to make a doughnut rise to the surface quickly and brown each side for about 1 minute.

If you want to add a few more calories, put sugar and nutmeg or cinnamon in a bag and some doughnuts and shake or smear some good chocolate on top.
