Mother’s Fried Cakes.

Stir to a cream two cups of sugar and four tablespoonfuls of softened butter or drippings. Add one cup each of milk and water, two well beaten eggs, four teaspoonfuls of baking powder sifted in four cups of flour, a teaspoonful of salt and cinnamon or nutnjeg to flavor. Add enough more flour to make a soft dough, cut in rings or twists and drop into a kettle of boiling fat. When the cakes rise and brown on one side turn deftly on the other without piercing the cruller, then as soon as browned lift out on brown paper. When nearly cool roll in powdered sugar if desired.
