2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon shortening
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons hot water
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Directions
1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a doughnut pan.
2 In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Stir in milk, eggs, vanilla and shortening. Beat together until well blended.
3 Fill each doughnut cup approximately 3/4 full. Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until doughnuts spring back when touched. Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan.
4 To make glaze, blend confectioners’ sugar, hot water and almond extract in a small bowl. Dip doughnuts in the glaze when serving.
