DOUGHNUTS

These doughnuts are very wholesome and excellent for children. They do not contain any shortening and should be fried very carefully in fat at just the right temperature so that no grease will be absorbed. They can be served plain or sprinkled with powdered sugar after they have thoroughly drained and cooled.

Save ⅓ cup of measured flour for board. Beat eggs until light; add milk, then add this liquid to the dry ingredients which have been sifted well together. Roll out ¼ inch thick on slightly floured board and fry in deep fat (365°-375°). Drain well on unglazed paper. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Makes 30 doughnuts.

All measurements are level

“Dear me” mused Hun Bun, while the pup

Licked Billy on the ear,

“A boy as thin as you could not

Be President I fear.”

And hopping on the table

He began to walk around,

He peered into each plate and dish,

Then even Hun Bun frowned.

And leaning on his pep’mint cane

And looking really hurt,

The bun boy King called dolefully,

“Why, where is the dessert?”

In rage he shook his candy cane,

As will such angry kings;

And roared, “It’s plain to see your fare

Lacks most essential things.

“No cakes, no cookies and no buns,

No biscuits—not a tart!

None of the things real fellows like,

Why Bill, it breaks my heart!

“It seems your mother does not know

What youngsters like to eat,

It surely is high time, I think,

That she and I should meet!”
