Applesauce Drop Doughnuts cont.



In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat
in applesauce and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder, salt,
cinnamon and nutmeg; gradually add to the creamed mixture alternately
with milk (the batter will be thick). In an electric skillet or
deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Drop teaspoonfuls of batter a
few at a time into hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
Drain on paper towels; roll in sugar while warm.

Yield: about 5 dozen.
