Sure, here’s a recipe for Old Fashioned Sour Cream Cake Donuts:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Add the sour cream and melted butter, and whisk until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
- When ready to fry the donuts, heat a large pot or Dutch oven filled with vegetable oil over medium heat until the oil reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Meanwhile, lightly flour a work surface, and roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Use a donut cutter or 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out the donuts.
- Working in batches, carefully drop the donuts into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the donuts for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the donuts to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain off any excess oil.
- Repeat with the remaining dough, making sure the oil stays at a consistent temperature.
- Serve the donuts warm or at room temperature, dusted with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar, if desired.
