Ingredients
- 2½ cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder

- Roll out the dough ½ inch thick on a floured surface and cut out with donut cutters.
- Heat a fryer to 375°. Fry the donuts until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the oil and cool slightly. While the donuts are still warm top with sugar, cinnamon sugar or glaze.
