BUTTERMILK DOUGHNUTS

This is another recipe from my 1955 Marshall Township PTA cookbook. This recipe is from Ellen Smith, one of my classmates.

1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. nutmeg or 1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup buttermilk
4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 tsp. soda
4 cups flour
3/4 tsp salt

Mix as usual. Chill dough and knead lightly and roll out on floured board. Fry in hot fat. Dust with powdered sugar.
