Instead of creaming the butter and sugar, I put the butter and sugar in a small sauce pan and kinda melted the butter and creamed them together. I also used all spice instead of nutmeg, and used buttermilk. My kids and mother said they were a do again.
Can you air fry or bake these?
THIS LITTLE DAB OF CINNAMON AND NUTMEG WOULD NOT MAKE THE BATTER DARK!!!
I have not tried them, wanted to know if anyone tried baking them? Trying not to eat fried foods...

These were good, cake like donuts. You have to have a good dough to have a good tasting donut and this recipe is good. Thank you for sharing it with my family.
I won't be making this again. No matter how small the fritter was it was raw on the inside and dark on the outside. Also too much of a nutmeg flavor & the amount of cinnamon made the batter dark....I have no idea what went wrong.
My daughter and I had so much fun making these! The recipe surely made a lot---enough to share with neighbors. I even had a catering request for these! Great recipe!
Excellent and easy! I added cinnamon to the sugar you roll them in! Definately recommend!!!
