DOUGHNUTS

4 cups flour                                                       3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp soda                                                          1/4 cups shortening
1 tsp salt                                                            3 eggs
1 tsp nutmeg                                                      1 cup sour milk
1/2 tsp cream of tartar                                       Granulated Sugar

Sift together flour, soda, salt, nutmeg and cram of tartar. In large mixer bowl, cream the 3/4 cup sugar and the shortening; beat in eggs. Add flour mixture alternately with sour milk, beating until just blended. Cover and chill at least 2 hours. On floured surface, roll dough 3/8" thick. Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Fry in deep fat (375*) until brown, about 2 to 3 minutes, turning once. Drain on paper towel. Roll in sugar. Makes 2 dozen doughnuts and holes.

*To make sour milk, add enough milk to 1 tbsp vinegar to make 1 cup.
