Recipe Introduction




Adapted from a recipe in Great Old Fashioned American Desserts



List of Ingredients






Makes about 16-20 donuts



2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 t. baking powder

1/2 t. baking soda

1/4 t. salt

1/4 t. nutmeg

1/2 c. buttermilk

2 T. vegetable oil

1 t. Buttery Sweet Dough Flavor

1 egg, slightly beaten

vegetable oil for frying

cinnamon and sugar, or powdered sugar, for dusting



Recipe









In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients (except the ingredients that you will use to dust the donuts).
Combine the wet ingredients (except the oil for frying) in a large measuring cup. Stir the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
Knead dough briefly until it loses its stickiness.
refrigerate the dough for an hour before rolling and cutting



Make sure you have 2 to 3 inches deep of oil in a heavy pan.
Preheat the frying oil to 375 F.
Roll out the dough about 1/2 inch thick, and cut out with a floured donut cutter.
Be sure to make that center hole big enough, or it will close up when you fry the donut.
Carefully transfer the donuts, just a few at a time, to the hot oil.
Fry them for about a minute on each side, until a deep golden brown.
Set aside to drain, then dust in cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar.
