How to make it
- Scald milk and allow to cool to lukewarm.
- Add yeast and stir.
- In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter until fluffy.
- Add eggs, salt, vanilla, Rum/Vodka, orange zest and nutmeg.
- Add flour and yeast-milk mixture gradually, beating well.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
- Punch down and let rise again.
- Roll out dough, on a floured surface, 3/4 inches thick.
- Cut out 1-1/2 inch circles.
- Options: Either cut into circles and deep fry or top half of a circle with 1 tsp. jam, cover with the remaining circle and seal the edges. I prefer to deep fry circles of dough and after they are done, allow to cool then pipe the jam into the centre of a cooked doughnut.
- Heat oil to 375°F.
- Fry, turning once, to a medium golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
- This recipe can make 24 doughnuts, more or less.
