Doughnut Balls

1 beaten egg 1/2 cup sugar 1 tablespoon melted butter 1/2 cup milk 1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1-1/2 cup flour 2 teaspoons baking powder Powdered sugar

Directions:
Combine egg, sugar, and melted butter. Beat well. Stir all dry ingredients together in a small bowl. Add to egg mixture alternately with milk. Stir hard and fast for about one minute by hand. Do not stir any more. Drop with a teaspoon into hot oil (360°). Turn each ball as soon as it comes to the surface. Cook for 4 minutes; do not undercook. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Roll in powdered sugar while still warm.

Notes:
This recipe is from an old Rebeccah Lodge cookbook from North Platte, NE. The recipe was contributed by Louise Lindvall of North Platte. I have updated it a little.
