BUTTERMILK DOUGHNUTS

DINER-STYLE POWDERED BUTTERMILK DOUGHNUTS


List of Ingredients





3 1/2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla
Vegetable oil for frying
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted



Recipe



INSTRUCTIONS: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking
powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Add the sugar and stir the dry ingredients with a whisk until combined.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg
and vanilla until blended.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the
buttermilk mixture into it. Using a rubber spatula, stir until the
mixture forms a soft, moist dough.

Dust a work surface with flour. Scrape the dough onto the work
surface and lightly sprinkle the top of the dough with flour. Gather
the dough into a ball and knead it gently 5 or 6 times, or until
smooth.

Roll or pat the dough into a round roughly 10 inches in diameter and
1/2 inch thick. Transfer the round to a baking sheet, cover it with
plastic wrap, and place it in the freezer for 15 minutes, or until
firm.

Using a 3-inch doughnut cutter (or a 3- inch round biscuit cutter and
a 3/4-inch cutter or pastry tip for the hole), cut out 7 doughnuts
and holes from the dough.

Gather the scraps together, reroll 1/2 inch thick, and cut out 3 more
doughnuts and as many holes as possible.

Place the doughnuts and holes on a baking sheet or 2 plates, cover
with plastic wrap and refrigerate while heating the oil for frying.

Pour the oil into a deep-fat fryer or large straight-sided saucepan
to a depth of 2 to 3 inches. Heat the oil to 370 degrees. Line a
baking sheet with paper towels.

Fry the doughnuts and holes in small batches, turning once, for 2 to
3 minutes, or until golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to
the paper towels to drain, then place on a wire rack to cool
completely.

When the doughnuts and holes are completely cool, place the powdered
sugar in a medium bowl. Generously dredge the doughnuts and holes in
the sugar, shaking off the excess.

Serve the same day.

Makes 10 doughnuts and about 16 doughnut holes.
