#161 baked donut holes

1 1/3 cups warm milk (95-105 degrees)
2.25 tsp active dry yeast (or 1 packet)
2 tbsp butter (melted)
1/3 plus 1 tbsp sugar
2 eggs
4.75 cups flour (after 4 cups add flour slowly, up to 5 or 5.25 cups depending)
pinch nutmeg
1 tsp salt

2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp milk
sugar/cinnamon/powdered sugar for topping

Place 1/3 cup warm milk in bowl and add yeast, let sit 5 mins. Meanwhile in large mixing bowl combine remaining milk, butter and sugar, mix well, add yeast/milk and mix throughly. Add eggs and flour, alternating, and once mixture is thick enough knead by hand and continue to add flour until dough is supple and not very sticky. Knead dough ~7-10 mins. Place in a oiled bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size. Punch down, remove from dough and shape into 1 tsp size balls (or roll and cut out donut shapes), place on cookie sheet and let rise again (covered) until doubled in size. Bake at 375 ~8-10 mins.

While baking melt remaining butter, add milk. In three separate baggies add (1) powdered sugar (2) powdered sugar and cinnamon and (3) sugar and cinnamon. When donuts come out of the oven brush with butter/milk mixture and place in one of 3 bags. Shake well, and transfer the balls to a dish. Continue with remaining balls
