Sour Milk Doughnuts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 eggs
1 c. sugar
grated rind of 1/2 lemon
2 Tbsp. melted shortening
1 c. sour milk
4 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Preparation

Beat eggs and sugar together; add lemon rind and melted shortening, then milk alternately with sifted dry ingredients, adding a little more flour if necessary to make dough just stiff enough to handle easily.
Turn onto floured board; pat or roll 3/4-inch thick and cut into doughnuts.
Cook in deep hot fat. Drain on unglazed paper and when cool, roll in powdered sugar. Makes about three dozen doughnuts.
