Sourdough Sams
List of Ingredients
1/2 cup Active Sourdough Starter
1/2 cup Sugar
2 tablespoons Shortening
2 cups Unbleached Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 each Large Egg
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/3 cup Buttermilk or Sour Milk
Sift dry ingredients, stir into liquid, roll out and cut with regular donut cutter. Then heat some oil in a deep fryer to 390 degrees F and fry. Makes about 17 Doughnuts with holes. Just before serving dust with powdered or cinnamon sugar.
NOTE: These doughnuts are virtually greaseless. And if you want you can make several batches at a time and freeze. They keep well and to me taste good after a while in the freezer. Take out as many as needed and thaw and put sugar on or eat plain.
