Baked Cinnamon Doughnuts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 pkg. active dry yeast
1/3 c. warm water
1 1/2 c. warm milk
1/3 c. butter
2 eggs
1 1/4 c. sugar, divided
2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp. salt
4 1/2 to 5 c. all-purpose flour
1/3 c. butter, melted
1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add milk and butter. Stir for 1 minute. Add eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, nutmeg, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat on low speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface. Roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 2 3/4-inch doughnut cutter. Place 1-inch apart on greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 450\u00b0 for 7 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Brush with butter.
