It seems like you’re looking for a recipe for “Granny’s Doughnuts.” Here’s a simple and classic recipe for homemade doughnuts:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Mix wet ingredients:

In another bowl, mix together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract.

Combine wet and dry ingredients:

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be soft and slightly sticky.

Shape and fry:

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick.
Use a doughnut cutter or a drinking glass to cut out doughnuts. If you don’t have a cutter, use a knife to cut out circles and then use a smaller object (like a bottle cap) to cut out the centers.
Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place doughnuts into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Remove doughnuts from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve:
