Grandma Rush's Donuts




This was in "Butter 'n Love Recipes", published by the "Jefferson-Morgan Elementary P.T.O." in 1977.

12 3/4 cup flour
9 eggs
1 stick of oleo
2 1/4 cup of sugar
2 1/4 cup of milk
10 1/2 tsp. of Baking Powder
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Nutmeg
1 tsp Salt (bam!)
2 tsp Vanilla

Mix as for a cake. Cover dough with a clean, camp cloth and put in refrigerator until chilled. Dough should be sticky. Roll out with flour, but use as little as possible. Roll about 1/4 inch thick. Drop into hot fat (Crisco), 375 degrees. Turn when golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
When cold, use 1/2 granulated sugar and 1/2 powdered sugar and dust them.

Mrs. Charles Rush
