Orange Sour Cream Doughnuts




Source of Recipe

List of Ingredients




2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon orange marmalade, melted
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Vegetable oil, for frying
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)

Recipe





1. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until light and lemon-colored. Gradually
add the granulated sugar, whisking constantly until the mixture is thick and
ribbony.

2. Stir in the sour cream, milk, melted butter, melted orange marmalade,
and orange zest.

3. In another bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg
together. Add this to the egg mixture, and stir to combine. Do not
overwork the dough. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

4. Pour oil to a depth of 2 to 3 inches in a large heavy pot, and place it
over medium-high heat. Heat it to a temperature of 370 degrees.

5. While the oil is heating, roll the dough out on a lightly floured
surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Using a floured 2 1/2-inch doughnut or
biscuit cutter, cut it into rounds. (If you don't have a doughnut cutter,
cut out the center holes with an apple corer.) Save the holes!


6. When the oil has reached 370 degrees, fry the doughnuts in small batches
until golden brown, turning once, 1 1/2 minutes per side. Use a slotted
spoon to remove them from the oil, and set them on paper towels to drain.
Then fry the doughnut holes (they'll take about 30 seconds per side). Watch
the temperature of the oil; let it reheat between batches if necessary.

7. Sprinkle the doughnuts with confectioners' sugar, if desired, and serve
warm.
