• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease miniature muffin cups or line with paper liners.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl. Stir milk and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Beat butter and 1/3 cup white sugar together in a third bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; beat in egg.
• Stir flour mixture, alternating with milk mixture, into butter mixture until batter is smooth. Spoon batter into a piping bag and pipe into muffin cups, about 2/3-full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Mix 1/3 cup white sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl; add warm doughnuts and gently toss with hands until coated.

Steps:

• Put one dessertspoonful of batter into each dip.
• close lid.
• Cook for 3 minutes.
• Remove to cool on a rack and repeat with remaining mixture.

• you could dip in melted chocolate.
• but I brush with a little warmed apricot jam and dip in sugar strands or hundreds and thousands or chocolate flakes.

Steps:

• Melt the 2 tablespoons shortening in a small saucepan. Set aside to cool slightly but remain liquid.
• In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and melted shortening together on medium speed. Add the egg and beat well. Add the evaporated milk and vanilla, continue beating until the mixture is light, about 2 minutes.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, mace, and salt into a medium bowl. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture on low speed until just combined. The texture of the dough will be soft and loose. Turn dough out of the bowl onto a large piece of plastic wrap and wrap it well. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
• Roll the chilled dough out on a very lightly dusted workspace until it's about 1/2-inch thick. Dip the edges of a 2-inch round cutter in flour and cut the dough into discs. Place cut dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Heat about 2-inches of shortening in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 375 degrees F. Line a large plate with paper towels.
• Working in batches, fry the doughnuts, turning once, until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the doughnuts from the oil with a slotted spoon or skimmer to the prepared pan. Cool. Repeat with remaining dough, taking care the oil comes back to the correct temperature between each batch.
• For jelly filled doughnuts: Fill a pastry bag fitted with a plain tip with raspberry jam. Let the donut cool slightly. Make a small opening with the pastry tip and gently fill each donut with some of the jam. Dust with sugar as desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• For sugared doughnuts, roll the doughnuts in sugar or cinnamon sugar while they are still warm. For confectioners' sugared covered doughnuts allow the doughnuts to cool completely before rolling in the confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Slowly heat the milk in a saucepan until tepid (37°C if using a thermometer). Whisk in the butter, caster sugar and the beaten eggs. Place the yeast into a bowl and and a little milk mixture to the yeast Use your hands to form a smooth paste. Transfer the yeast into the saucepan containing the milk mixture, whisking to combine.
• Sift the flour and ½ teaspoon of salt into a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Gradually pour in the milk mixture, whisking until smooth. Cover the bowl with cling film and set aside in a warm place to prove for approx 1 hour.
• Place remaining caster sugar in a bowl.
• Pour oil into a saucepan until one-third full. Heat over medium-high heat until 165°C.
• Spoon donut mixture into 2"/5cm round balls into the hot oil, ensuring you allow room in the pan for the balls to expand. Cook for 2 minutes then turn over, cook for another 2 minutes or until golden and cooked throughout. Remove from oil, drain on paper towel, then once they are cooled slightly, roll them in the sugar until adequately covered.
• If you are filling the doughnuts make an incision into the doughnuts and place jam (or other filling) into a small piping bag and attatch a 5mm straight-edged nozzle. Push nozzle into the centre of each donut and pipe enough jam to fill. Alternatively, place the jam, clotted cream and melted chocolate into small dipping pots and serve.
• Tip: To melt the chocolate, break into smaller pieces and place into a large bowl. put a couple of inches of water in a pan, boil the water then turn heat down to minimum. Place the bowl over the pan, ensuring the water is not touhing the base of the bowl. The Chocolate should melt after 5-7 minutes, ensure to keep stirring throughout until all lumps have disapeared and you have a lovely smooth texture.
