Steps

Mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp ground nutmeg and ¼ tsp salt inside a bowl. Mix thoroughly so that the mixture is consistent. Let this be the dry mixture.
Then you can mix ¼ cup melted butter or margarine along with 2/3 cups of milk in another bowl. Let us call this the wet mixture. Again the mixture should be consistent throughout.
Add two eggs, 2/3 cup sugar and 1 tsp vanilla essence in a third bowl and use the electric mixer to beat up the mixture to get a good froth. The mixture will also get thickened.
Now it’s the turn to add the dry mixture and the wet mixture in turns to the egg mixture. Keep beating the mixture and adding the wet and dry mixtures little by little till you get a smooth and consistent mixture. Keep doing this until you have exhausted all the wet and dry mixtures and the egg mixture is now nicely done.
You have to keep the dough in the fridge to cool after covering it. It will take about 2 hours for the dough to rise. Then take the dough out from the fridge and roll it with a rolling pin on a surface which has been floured from before. Keep rolling until it is about ½ an inch thick.
Then keep a doughnut cutter handy and also nicely floured. Cut into doughnut shapes with the cutter. Do this carefully so that you get maximum number of doughnuts. Do not allow for much wastage from the cut-outs of the dough.
Take oil in a pan and heat to about 375 degrees. Wait until the oil is properly heated and fry the doughnuts. Cook each side till it gets brown. This will approximately take about 1 minute on each side. After they are done, you can remove the extra oil and dry on paper towels. Then use a wire rack to cool the homemade doughnuts.
You can enjoy the doughnuts now. In case you want to garnish them with some topping, then roll them while hot over granulated or powdered sugar to get delicious doughnuts.

By now, your children must be experts at how to make doughnut. You can sit down for breakfast along with your family and enjoy doughnuts to your heart’s content.
