Mini Doughnuts

Our version’s fast and incredibly easy! 

Makes 30 to 35 mini doughnuts

4 tablespoons shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons powdered milk
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 
1 tablespoon vanilla extract 
2 eggs
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup water
confectioners' sugar, cinnamon sugar, and chocolate powder for  coating
chocolate and strawberry syrup to glaze (optional)

1  In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat shortening, sugar, salt, milk, and nutmeg on medium speed. 

2  In another bowl, combine vanilla extract and eggs; add to the creamed mixture. Combine  flour with baking powder; add half of the amount to the creamed mixture. Mix on low speed until the flour is absorbed. Pour in water; mix until well incorporated. Add remaining flour mixture and mix until flour is absorbed and dough is smooth. Let dough rest for 15 minutes. Roll out dough evenly until about 12-inch-thick. Cut out doughnuts using a mini doughnut cutter; let rest for a few minutes. 

3  Deep-fry doughnuts in very hot oil until golden brown. Cooked and slightly cooled doughnuts can be coated with confectioners' sugar, cinnamon sugar, and chocolate powder. Glaze with chocolate and strawberry syrup, if desired.
