First let's gather our ingredients!
Mom's Old Fashioned Donuts
<<printable recipe>>
3 c. flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
3/4 c. milk
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
2 eggs
2 T. melted butter
coconut oil or vegetable oil (for frying)
In large bowl, measure 1 1/2c flour and add remaining ingredients except oil.

With mixer on low, beat until smooth, scraping bowl w/ spatula. Increase speed to medium; beat 1 min. constantly scraping. Add remaining flour to make soft dough.
Refrigerate 1 hour.
On well-floured surface, roll dough 1/2 in. thick. And when I say, well-floured I mean it!
It's very sticky dough.
Cut dough with doughnut cutter. Or, a glass cup and a shot glass. Ahem, whatever works.
Meanwhile heat oil 3-4 in. deep to 370.
Fry doughnuts, turn with slotted spoon as soon as they rise to surface and turn often until golden.
Drain on paper towel.
Try to resist eating them all. Trust me on this one.
Glaze or sprinkle with powdered sugar. Maybe even cinnamon sugar. Or, eat them plain. Seriously, they are delicious.
See? Mmm. Yes, they were good. A little too good!

I've never made HomeMade donuts before but I've had the pleasure of eating them a few times--way, better than Krispy Kreme!! I love the crunchiness of the outside! Great job!
And yep--coming by from the Comment Promise Blog Hop!
My wilds would love this! Who doesn't love donuts right? Must try!
I've always wanted to make donuts! My mom had a donut maker, but we only used it once I think. And to my knowledge, they didn't turn out very good. Your dounts look delicious though! I love how they all came out as different shapes and sizes :]

These look so good!!! You might like also friend pizza (its a Neapolitan thing). I just use the trader joe's pizza dough, but the frying is similar to what you have done - and it can be savory with oregano and diced tomatoes or sweet like you've done here. Ok, now you have made me really hungry!
