Yield: Makes 4 to 5 dozen.
Kate offers these tasty doughnuts with maple syrup for dunking. She always uses sour milk or buttermilk -- never sweet.Ingredients:
2 cups sour milk or buttermilk1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter, melted
2 cups sugar
3 eggs plus 2 egg yolks
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons nutmeg
Enough flour to make a soft dough (5 or 6 cups)
Oil or melted lard, for frying
Instructions:
Combine sour milk, melted butter, sugar, and eggs, and stir until smooth. Sift dry ingredients together. Combine wet and dry ingredients, adding enough flour to make a dough that is easy to handle, but not too stiff. Do not overmix, or dough will be tough. Roll out dough to about 1/2-inch thickness and cut with a doughnut cutter. Fry in hot (370 degrees F) melted lard or oil. (Kate uses an 8-inch kettle about two-thirds full of oil and watches to be sure the oil doesn't get too hot.)Browse Similar Recipes
