Maryland Dough Nuts

Break an egg into a bowl. Beat it well, and mix with it half a pint of melted butter, half a pint of sugar, half a pint of sour milk, a tea-spoonful of cinnamon, half a tea-spoonful of powdered cloves, and nine ounces of dried flour. Mix thoroughly, stir in a tea-spoonful of soda dissolved in a tea-spoonful of boiling water, and work in another nine ounces of flour. Roll the paste to the thickness of half an inch; cut it into rounds, and fry these in plenty of boiling fat.
