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.
