.

2 c. Flour

3/4 tsp. Salt

1 scant tsp. Baking Soda

1 scant tsp. Cream of Tartar

1 grating Nutmeg

1/2 Tbsp. Butter

1 Egg

1/2 c. Sugar

1/2 c. Sour Milk

.

Sift together the dry ingredients,

rub the Butter into the Flour with

the finger tips,

add the Sugar, a well beaten Egg, and Milk;

beat thoroughly and toss the dough on

a Floured board.

It ought to be a soft dough and it is

NOT easy to handle.

Use a knife in turning it over

if you have any difficulty.

Knead lightly and roll into a sheet.

Cut the Doughnuts with a ring cutter,

then fry in boiling Fat.

Put only about 4 in the kettle at once.

If more are fried at a time,

the Fat will cool and and the Doughnuts

will become greasy.
