    List of Ingredients





    1 cup commercial sour cream
    1/4 cup butter or margarine
    1/3 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
    2 packages dry yeast
    3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    2 eggs
    Vegetable oil
    Eggnog Glaze

    Recipe




    Combine eggnog, butter, sugar and salt in a small saucepan; place over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until butter melts. Set aside and let cool to 105 to 115 degrees F.

    Combine 2 cups flour, yeast and nutmeg; add warm eggnog mixture, and mix well. Add eggs and beat at low speed with an electric mixer 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly; beat at high speed an additional 3 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 1/3 cups flour, mixing well. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and chill at least 2 to 3 hours.

    Punch down dough, and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.

    Roll to 1/3-inch thickness, and cut with a floured doughnut cutter. Place doughnuts several inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees F), free from drafts, about 45 to 50 minutes, until very light.

    Heat 2 inches of oil in a large skillet to 375 degrees F. Add doughnuts, a few at a time, and fry 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until golden brown on both sides, turning once. Drain well on paper towels. While still warm, dip top of each in Eggnog Glaze.

    Yields about 2 dozen.

    Eggnog Glaze
    2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
    3 tablespoons commercial eggnog
    Dash of ground nutmeg

    Combine all ingredients, and mix until smooth.

    Yield: about 1 1/2 cups
