Pete Family Recipe Blog

I started this blog as a way of sharing the recipes in my mother's recipe boxes with my entire large family so everyone in the family can access any recipes they would like to have. My mom and dad both loved recipes and cooking. I think my mom liked baking better, and my dad loved to combine foods in new ways in cooking. The foods we ate while we were growing up are a memory that we all share. I'm sure my siblings will find a recipe or two that will spark some good memories. Please feel free to add recipes that I missed or send them to me and I will add them. I can also start a section of our favorite recipes if you send them to me.

Cake Doughnuts

Mom would fry these by the batchful and I don't think many of them ever got cool before they were eaten. It was always a good day when Mom decided to make doughnuts!

1 T butter, melted
1 egg
3 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
4 cups sifted flour
1/2 cup cream
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Beat eggs and add milk and sugar. Add sifted dry ingredients and melted butter. Drop into hot oil from a doughnut press. The fat should be hot enough to brown a cube of bread in 1 minute. Turn doughnuts as soon as they rise to the top. Drain on paper towels.
