Great with cider on an evening by the fire!
Spice Puffs
A family favorite when the kids were young

• Combine dry ingredients.
• Combine milk, oil, and egg and beat with a fork until blended.
• Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until blended.
• Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls into hot oil (375°, 3" deep).
• The puffs will usually turn over by themselves as they cook, but if they don't, flip them over to the other side.
• Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Serve plain, or toss in a paper bag with cinnamon sugar (1 C sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon), or dip in a chocolate or orange glaze and then coconut or chopped nuts.
• Makes about 3 dozen.

Hints:

• Use a scant teaspoonful of dough.  If you make the puffs too large, they won't cook in the center.
• If you don't crowd them in the skillet, they're more likely to turn over by themselves.
