Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In another bowl, beat sugar, butter, and egg yolks until light and airy.

  • Do not overmix the dough to keep the donuts light and fluffy.
  • Ensure the oil is at the right temperature for frying.
