Cruellers

Cruellers:

First what are they? Second, why would my grandmother have this recipe in her recipe box? I never remember her making "cruellers" ... I think they are a donut like fried pastry, and that sounds great to me, so I say "let's try them!"



Cruellers:

3 cups flour
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2/3 cups sugar
3 tsp. B. P. (Baking powder)
1/3 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. fat (shortening)

Sift and mix dry ingredients. Add flavoring. Chop in fat. Mix egg and milk together. Add to flour mixture until it becomes a soft dough. Roll dough 1/2 inch thick, cut, fry in deep fat (oil) and drain on unglazed paper (paper towels) Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
