2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk
1 tsp. salt
1 egg
1 tsp. nutmeg or mace
vegetable oil for frying

Fill a cast iron pan or deep fryer with 1 1/2-inches vegetable oil and heat to 375°F.

Combine all remaining ingredients with fork; stir until well mixed. Fry teaspoonfuls of mixture until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add only as many doughnuts as will float easily to top. Turn with long-handled fork.

When golden brown, remove to paper towels to drain, then roll in cinnamon-sugar. (1 tsp. cinnamon to 1 cup white sugar). Alternatively, drizzle with a confectioners' sugar icing.

Makes 2 1/2 dozen doughnut holes.
