2 eggs
1 c. sugar
2 tbsp. Crisco

Beat thoroughly; add:

3/4 c. buttermilk
3 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. (each) salt, nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Mix together and turn onto generously floured board; roll out 1/3 inch thick. Let rest 20 minutes then cut with doughnut cutter. Fry in very hot oil until brown on both sides. Drain on absorbent paper. (Lift doughnuts out--don't prick.) Serve plain, cinnamon/sugar, powdered sugar or glazed; makes 25 plus holes.

GLAZE: Whisk 1 tablespoon hot water into 1 cup powdered sugar; dip warm doughnuts into glaze.
