Doughnuts
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 TB. butter, melted
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp Baking powder
2 -1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp.ground nutmeg
Oil - just a few inches deep in a heavy bottom pot( I used Canola oil)
Begin heating the oil slowly to 360 degrees F.while making the dough. The Metric measurements: Given to my by a viewer...thank you 1 egg 120ml milk 100gram sugar 125gram butter, melted half a teaspoon of salt 2 teaspoons of baking powder 250gram flour (and about 50-75 gram of flour as reserve) quarter teaspoon of nutmeg Heat the oil to 180 Cº
Remember to turn the pot handle in over the stove so it doesn't get bumped.
Cinnamon/Sugar for decoration
1 cup sugar
2.tsp. cinnamon
Stir this mixture together in a separate bowl to use later to sprinkle over the cooked doughnuts.
1. Beat the egg in a bowl large enough to eventually hold all of the ingredients.
2. Add the milk, butter and sugar to the egg.
3. Combine the dry ingredients in another bowl.
4. Combine the flour mixture with the egg mixture and mix until the dough comes together
5. Knead the dough into a nice smooth ball trying not to work it too much.
6. Roll the dough out to approximately 1/3 inch thick.
7. Cut the doughnuts. Separate the wholes from the doughnuts and place them on a lightly flour dusted tray or on parchment paper
If you do not have a doughnut cutter use the rim of a glass and a water bottle cap.
8. Allow the doughnuts to rest for about 5-10 minutes.
9. Begin frying the doughnuts if the fat is 360 Degrees F.
Note: When you add the doughnuts to the fat it cools down the oil, therefore start with the fat a few degrees higher.
10. Carefully let the doughnuts slide into the oil and fry on each side until golden brown. Watch the temperature of the oil, and make the necessary adjustments
11. When the doughnuts are done remove them from the oil and place on a paper towel just for a few moments and then place them in the cinnamon/sugar mixture and using a spoon sprinkle the sugar over the doughnuts both sides
That's it. Have fun and be careful
You're welcome.

Gold Medal Regular White Flour is the type of flour that I use.
I believe almost any brand of flour will be fine for this recipe.
Thank you for asking.

There are several things that can happen to cause the dough to be too heavy.
Adding too much flour.
Baking Powder that is not active. Add a few drops of water to a tsp. of baking powder it should bubble.
If the dough is allowed to rest for 15 mins. before frying helps to make them lighter.
Hope I helped a little.

I am sorry to hear that! Maybe too much flour. Did you test the baking powder to be sure it would work..we have a video on that.
