Canadian Doughnuts

In a large bowl, cream butter or margarine and sugar together until light. Add egg and milk. Stir until well blended. Sift flour a second time with baking powder, salt and nutmeg.

Add enough of the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture to make a soft dough. Cover and refrigerate for 1/2 hour.

Turn onto a lightly floured surface and roll into 1/3-inch thick and cut with doughnut cutter.

In a deep skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil or Crisco to 365°.

Fry doughnuts until golden brown on both sides, do not crowd.

Drain on absorbent paper and dust with powdered sugar or granulated sugar.

Makes 2 dozen.
