Old Fashioned Raised Doughnuts

Make a sponge as for bread, using a pint of warm water or milk, and a large half cup of yeast; when the sponge is very light, add half a cup of butter, a half cup of sugar, a teaspoon of salt and one small teaspoon of soda dissolved in a little water, one tablespoon of cinnamon, a little grated nutmeg; stir in now two well-beaten eggs, add sifted flour until it is the consistency of biscuit dough, knead it well, cover and let rise;

Roll the dough out into a sheet half an inch thick, cut out with a very small biscuit-cutter, or in strips half an inch wide and three inches long, place them on greased tins, cover them well and let them rise before frying them.

Drop them in very hot lard. Raised cakes require longer time than cakes made with baking powder. Sift powdered sugar over them as fast as they are fried, while warm. 


NOTE:
Our grandmothers put allspice into these cakes; that, however, is a matter of taste.
