How to Make Grandma Clarks Fried Donuts
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
- Cut in 1/2 cup vegetable shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add 1 cup milk, mixing until just combined. Add the remaining 1 cup flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Heat about 3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 375°F (190°C).
- Using a donut cutter or spoon, carefully drop 3-4 donuts at a time into the hot oil. Avoid overcrowding.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Turn when the first side is lightly golden and bubbles appear on the surface.
- Remove donuts with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
- While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar icing (recipe below).
- Enjoy immediately! (These are best eaten fresh.)
